Pocket Watches

The first small watches appeared in the early 16th century. They were worn visibly around the neck or on a belt. The 1800s are considered to be the peak of classic watchmaking. Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823) was regarded as the king of the watchmakers of his era. The second half of the 19th century saw the rise of industrial production.
