Who invented the watch? - Wishdoit Watches

Who invented the watch?

Peter Henlein invented the first watch, a pocket watch, in 1505. He used mechanical principles, such as pendulums and gears, to measure time. Watches evolved from being worn by aristocrats to becoming fashion and status objects for everyone. The watch industry developed rapidly during the industrial revolution, and Swiss watches became dominant. Today, watches range from mechanical to smart and are designed to meet the needs of customers, like Wishdoit watches.
