History of wrist watches: Watches are a devise used to measure or indicate the passage of time. In Italy about 1450, watches were developed when coil springs were introduced as a source of power. Invented about 1660 by Robert Hooke was a spiral hairspring, which improved the accuracy of watches. The first appearance of minute and second hands, and crystals took place in the 17th-century; this was to protect both the dial and hands. And in the 18th century jeweled bearings appeared in wrist watches to reduce friction and prolong the life of watches. With technology advancements today you can get wholesale watches that are analog or digital, water resistant, battery operated or hand-wound watches or even self-winding wrist watches. Many designer and sport watches contain the chronograph functions; containing two to three sundials, or mini dials for measuring minutes and hours. Other features in wrist watches are annual calendars, alarms and stopwatch features. Recently there has been an increased use of Titanium a “space age” metal, often having a silver-gray appearance, in sport watches as it s 30% stronger and nearly 50% lighter than steel. And with its resistance to salt water corrosion, Titanium is a favorite and particularly useful in wrist watches for divers and sailors.
