The hourglass watches of yesteryears are passé, this is the era of Jewelry watches that not only tell time but also tell of the wearer’s status. The concept of time and it’s recording has been done since time immemorial.
We began measuring time with sundials and hourglasses that seem to have been evolved by the early Egyptians. These cumbersome gadgets gave way to clocks that the Italian Monks introduced. But these clocks were also difficult to carry around and soon pocket watches found them selves in the suave suits of Englishmen.
The 19th century saw its first wristwatch invented by Patek Philippe. The wristwatch was considered to be something that only women wore till of course the convenience became evident to most and today we find it on nearly every hand.
Another thing that seemed to have been designed only for women was jewelry. Jewelry also found itself in some form or the other on both the genders very soon. Even today the metro man is seen with a ring or a chain.
Needless to say like all other things that the human race wears, watches also became more elaborate and dressy. This gave birth to what we today call jewelry watches. These are not only pretty to look and obviously tell time but are made with precious metals and stones making them fall in new class that is referred to as Jewelry watches.
