Since ancient times, humans have been trying to calculate time. About 6000 years ago, the sundial was invented and humans were able to observe the flow of time with the naked eye. Subsequently, in the mid-13th century, early mechanical clocks appeared in northern Italy and southern Germany, powered by a scale and sounding automatically every hour.
 
At the end of the 15th century, small pocket watches began to become popular and were mainly favored by upper class individuals. At the end of the 18th century, Swiss watchmakers such as Fran ç ois Borges and Empress Marie Antoinette manufactured watches, which are considered to be the earliest watches in the world. In 1806, Napoleon ordered craftsmen to create a small clock that could be worn on the wrist like a bracelet in order to win the favor of Queen Josephine. This was the world's first watch.
 
As time goes by, the design and technology of watches continue to advance. In 1904, Cartier introduced the first flying watch by tying a pocket watch to a hand with a belt. In 1918, Swiss watchmakers designed watches that could be fixed on the wrist, officially making watches a popular timing tool. In the mid-20th century, the development of electronic technology led to the birth of quartz electronic watches, which had higher accuracy and more affordable prices, gradually replacing the market position of mechanical watches.
 
Nowadays, watches are no longer exclusive to the upper class. Many people can buy high-quality watches at a suitable price, and establishing their own watch brand has become a good choice. Time Easy is a leader in China's watch manufacturing industry, and you can consult us for any watch needs.
