Watches

It is hard to imagine a time without wristwatches, they seem to have been with us forever and in our lifetimes they have, but that wasn't always the case. Before the wristwatch came the pocketwatch and before that there was nothing. People would rely on the local church clock or the sun to get an idea of what time of day it was.

Now we have watches so cheap they can be given away in cornflake packets and as watches become ever more common so has time become more important. It seems that the more accurately we can measure time the more precisely we have to measure our live.

There are still wonderful craftsman made watches available and the quality of watches produced on production lines around the world has improved immensely since earlier times. Now you can choose a watch based on how it looks to you and know that it will keep pretty accurate time, for a long time.
