THE wrist WATCH

TIME IS ON OUR SIDE


Evolving from spring driven mechanics in 15 century Europe, to todays electric and solar powered technology, The Watch has come a long way from its humble origins. Named after the Old English word "woecce" meaning watchman, it was used by them to keep track of their shifts.

The trend caught on with soldiers in WWI, instead of using pocket watches they took "Wristlet" design that women used and adapted them on leather straps and with unbreakable glass covers for the weather conditions, soon after it became a necessity to both men and women and is now a classic and timeless accessory.
