The World of Wristwatches

For as long as I can remember, I’ve seen or worn wristwatches. It wasn’t always so common; not too long ago humanity was using sundials and obelisks to keep track of the hours. What changed?

The World of Wristwatches is a linear categorization and narrative about the creation and popularization of the wristwatch.
