In 1886, after improving the gear mechanism and escapement, the Swiss designed a cheap pocket watch. In this way, many people can buy pocket watches, and pocket watches have entered the families of ordinary people. Switzerland also mastered this advanced watchmaking technology, and became the center of the world watchmaking industry for more than a century.
By 1887, ladies who love beauty and pursue fashion have already begun to wear watches. The watch strap replaces the watch chain of the pocket watch and plays a fixed role.
With the advent of the 20th century, people are developing rapidly at the level of productivity. At the same time, in terms of clothing, he also began to pursue a more casual style that was different from the past. While the style of clothing changes, pocket watches that can only be worn in orthodox suits cannot meet the demand. People need a watch that is casual to wear and not so particular about style. Driven by this “popular wind”, watches quickly occupied the market.
Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, men wore long gowns and jackets. Fashion hangs a gold pocket watch in the small left pocket, and the bracelet is attached to the button. Wear a pocket watch and hold it carefully in your hand on some occasions. With a “pop”, the watch cover opened, revealing the white dial and black hands. The whole look is an arrogant gentleman. Nowadays, pocket watches are rarely sold on the market, except for pocket watches launched by famous brand manufacturers. Pocket watches are used as gifts, souvenirs, and collectibles.
