Everything has a beginning. And if you think time begins somewhere, consider the beginning of time measurement as well. Early man developed a system for knowing the exact date. But a device that tells the exact time comes much later.

Water clocks, sundials and candle clocks were the first instruments that somehow managed to tell the time, but accuracy was far from being achieved.

In the 13th century, clocks weight were developed. It used gears while the hour hand was already in use, while the minute hand was an indication of luxury and wealth. Clocks Weight were publicly displayed on church steeples, town halls and monasteries.

In the 16th century, clocks were produced using the spring instead of the weight. Portable clocks or Fob watches were the first timepieces that the public could own. At that time, the only people who could own them were the wealthy and owning one signified the person's status, authority and wealth. Often portable watches were placed on the wall of the house. The term "wearable" did not mean, however, that it could be worn on the pocket. The term changed its meaning a few years later.

The first transportable watches or pocket watches were also used in the 16th century. This time the clocks did not have to stay in one place. Pocket watches could already be worn around the neck or carried in a pocket. The same era also brought a revolution in the development of pocket watches. Mechanisms were introduced to bring accuracy to the time indication. Some pocket watches were even equipped with an alarm.

The entrance of the 17th century made the pocket watch even more desirable. The boxy image was removed and replaced by more rounded and slimmer cases. Watchmakers also became instant artists, as they infused patterns and craftsmanship into every pocket watch they made. When Christian Huygens discovered the law of the pendulum, which for your information was different from Galileo's, the clock had gone one step further. This law proved to be very useful for the development of pocket watches.

In the 18th century, pocket watches continued to evolve. This time, jewelry was used as bearings. Diamonds became an integral part of some pocket watches, which drove the price of a single pocket watch through the roof. Oil was also a part of pocket watches during this time. It was used to lubricate and smooth the movement of the watch hands.

In the second half of the 18th century, pocket watches were produced with three hands. In contrast to the inclusion of the minute hand during the 16th century, the second hand was logical, as the accuracy of the time indication was much better.In the 19th century, packet watches had their heyday. This era brought several watchmakers on the scene. Names such as LeCoultre & Cie, Ulysse Nardin, Minerva, Heuer, IWC and many others came into being during this time. The quality of pocket watches became better than ever.

At the turn of the 20th century, certificates were issued to watchmakers who created accurate watches. Unlike earlier years, the issuance of certificates became more of a requirement than a luxury. And over the years, the popularity of pocket watches declined as wristwatches became more popular. Although pocket watches are not used so much today, they have been one of the important instruments for many centuries.
