New Watch

A wrist watch has the advantage of being portable in comparison to traditional watches. Watches evolved in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century. In 1524, Peter Henlein created the first pocket watch. The first watches were strictly mechanical, driven by clockwork. As technology developed, mechanical watches were largely replaced by vibrating quartz crystals, producing accurately timed electronic pulses.
