History of designer watches for women

During the Prehistory man measured time. Our ancestors built stone columns so that when a star concurred the alignment of these columns, it indicated an important moment or date.

Mechanical designer watches for women which are used nowadays were invented in the Middle Ages. During that time, human beings had evolved enough to invent advanced mechanical systems to measure time. Mechanical designer watches for women were born, however according to Baresford Hutchinson, both the identity of the inventor and their origin are still unknown. Some historians claim that these watches already existed in the late Middle Ages, i.e. in the last decades of the 13th century. Some European cities had public clocks in the early 14th century. One of the clearest examples of this fact is the astronomic clock of the City-Hall in Prague dated in 1486 created by Nicolas de Kadan and Juan Sindel. This clock has a sphere-shaped calendar palced at the button of the watch. There are also more examples of these clocks, for instance in Milan, Italy there is a clock in the San Eustorgio tower dated from the 1309. In the Cathedral of Toledo, Spain there is a record found in the second half of the 13th century in which a “disrupted horologe”appeared that was supposed to be one of the clocks Alfonso X (the wise) mentioned in 1267.

I am one woman who prefers wearing men's watches over women's watches. I love wearing JLC, this one in particular: http://www.jaeger-lecoultreusa.com/1_378516011_B001U81CCQ_Jaeger-LeCoultre-Master-Ultra-Thin-Mens-Watch-1342420.html
