New watches come on the market every day so keep watching or searching for your favourite kind of watch, there's something out there to keep you happy once you look at all the watches available right now. I saw a watch the other day which has straps going in different directions to tell the time that I was really intrigued as to how it works, it would be a real talking point at a party or with your friends.
In the beginning people could just tell the time from sunlight dials that they put over doorways of their homes or businesses, revealing midday along with the four stages of the sun as it travels through the day, another kinds of clocks for notification time were water clocks, hard to transport when you were on the transfer. From the 1500's with the invention of these springs, mobile clocks and watches were produced. One locksmith from Germany Peter Henlein created the"Nuremberg Eggs" that could be put on the table instead of being suspended in the wall, they only had an hour as the minute hand wasn't introduced until much later and they dropped time as the spring unwound but they were widely popular with the wealthy folks as they were a truly portable timepiece.
With the debut of this humble spring that the world of clocks and watch series took a giant leap to the forwards. Men didn't wear wrist watches back in the 1800's they were believed to be overly feminine and only ladies wore them. Men needed an opinion on a chain that they kept in the pocket of the vest that was known as a fob pocket. It was only when someone tied one of those watches into his wrist with a piece of string so he could retained track of time and maintain working he asked a watchmaker to make a watch he could wear on his wrist, two or three lugs were attached to the faces of the watchseries plus a strap was placed on so that he could wear it.
Following the Great War more guys were sporting watches since they had done during the war and it became known as a tribute to people who'd served their nations on the battle fields so from now on women were not the only ones sporting watches. By 1920 it was fashionable for men to wear a watch and new designs were being made by an entire range of watchmakers, glass faces were replaced using plastics, different alloys were used for the casing, moment hands were inserted and the rest is history.
When I was child, watches weren't really worn by kids unless you were out of the upper class as most families couldn't afford to buy their kids a watch, even when out playing one day that I remember asking my friend what the period was neither of us had a watch so that he pulled his sleeve up appeared in his arm and said"A hair passed a freckle" and then we burst out laughing, and it reveals how far we have come over a brief period of time. How many kids have a watch now?
Two sailors we knew had just returned from Singapore and introduced these watches back for us as gifts I do remember they did not last all that long maybe because I didn't understand how to cure or look after it properly, I likely over-wound it, breaking up the main spring.
A few years after I had been given another opinion from a close friend of the family that he had been an American Pilot also it was a gold Lovably that I have to this day though I don't wear it. Each time I see or think about it, I see the man who gave me it , sadly he passed away a brief time back so he and his watch are constantly in my mind.
Its funny when you have your wrist watch on, it will become a part of you, and you also don't give it another thought daily, you assess it quite regularly for time doing this action without thinking about it. Then 1 day you leave your watch off your wrist and all day long you worry about where you left it and it nags you until it is back in your wrist. 1 time during my journeys I was in the airport in Paris and needing to freshen up, went to the toilets, took my watch off, also had a quick wash and then walked off leaving my watch behind. A few minutes later I looked to inspect the time for my flight and no watch. My heart sank, I hurried back down to the toilets and thankfully my watch was still there on the basin - there are a few honest people in the world. I had such a strong feeling of loss if my watch was missing for this short time, it affirmed how much the watch intended to mepersonally.
A couple of months after I wasn't so lucky. I had been on a ferry travel from Italy to Greece, the exact same thing occurred, washed my hands, left the watch about the basin then went up on deck, so I soon realized I had left the watch in the toilet but now when I got back it was gone. I reported it missing and had it broadcast over the ships speakers but the person who took it didn't return it and I felt naked without it in my wrist, '' There was a strong feeling of loss, I guess most of us have feelings like this when something is taken away from ussomething we treasure. So look after your Watches.
The further I look into Watch collection I find they certainly have come a very long way in the sundials produced in 500AD to the century we live in now, going to the Moon and outside, humans love devising new ideas and there is a lot more discoveries to be made about the way we calculate TIME and the humble watch will probably be traveling as fast as another discovery. Keep inventing.
