Modern wristwatches are a must-have for any woman, and they are a reflection of how far the industry has come.
During the 19th century, women started wearing watches on their wrists, which they then utilized as fashion accessories. This was a significant development since timekeeping devices were already commonly used by women.
During this period, men only wore pocket watches in their jackets, presumably because women did not need to know the time. Also, they didn't wear jackets.
Instead, they wore watches around our necks or as brooches. In 1810, Breguet made the first known women's watch. It was a pocket watch that was attached to a wristband that was made for Caroline Murat, who was the Queen of Naples.
Art deco design was very popular during the 1920s, which led to a rise in the popularity of women's watches. During this period, many craftsmen were inspired by this type of design. They were often able to make smaller cases to accommodate more decorative elements and jewels. One of the most prominent examples of this was the creation of Calibre 101 by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The demand for expressive and bold designs continued to rise in the 1930s.
During the 1980s, the rise of the powerful career woman was very influential in the design of watches. This trend continued to be popular during 1990.
As more women rely on smartphones and tablets instead of traditional watches, these products are becoming more fashionable.
