As you probably know, the wristwatch is a relative newcomer in horology. The very first watches evolved from portable table clocks, sometime around the early 16th century, and in fact, they weren't pocket watches at all, technically speaking, because people weren't wearing clothes with pockets in the 1500s. Portable watches would have been worn on a ribbon or chain around the neck, or carried in a pouch attached to one's belt. As the early
