A watch is a small timepiece intended to be worn by a person to keep working despite their movements. Some watches are designed to be worn around the wrist using a strap, while others fit in a pocket. Modern watches usually display the time, date, and other information. Additional features like timers, heart rate monitoring, and GPS are also available. The history of watches began in 16th century Europe where they evolved from portable spring-driven clocks to become small mechanical devices powered by winding throughout the mid-20th century, until the invention of quartz watches in the 1960s which ran on electricity and took over the market by the 1980s.

In order to correct the time automatically, some watches use radio clock technology. HISTORY DETAILS: where watches evolved from portable spring-driven clocks. PARAGRAPHS: The history of watches began in 16th century Europe, where watches evolved from portable spring-driven clocks, which first appeared in the 15th century. The watch which developed from the 16th century to the mid 20th century was a mechanical device, powered by winding a mainspring which turned gears and then moved the hands, and kept time with a rotating balance wheel. The invention of the quartz watch in the 1960s, which ran on electricity and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal, proved a radical departure for the industry. During the 1980s quartz watches took over the market from mechanical watches, an event referred to as the "quartz crisis". Although mechanical watches still sell at the high end of the market, the vast majority of watches now have quartz movements. THANK YOU
