When we come to purchase watches, it is often a rarity that we think about the sheer brilliance of the invention of the watch. At Rox, we believe that a time before designer watchmakers is a time hard to imagine, however, there is a very interesting history behind the little bit of timekeeping and modern watches we now adorn our wrists with.
The history of watches began with cavemen, a group that had to observe the sun and shifting of shadows throughout the day in order to determine a good time for doing particular things. Hunting was a pursuit especially determined by the position of the sun in the sky.
Around 4000 B.C., knowledge of astronomy began to develop and people began to use the sun, moon and the stars to form a calendar system. When the word Zodiac is mentioned these days, many people initially think of horoscopes and personality profiles, however, before this, the Zodiac was a chief aspect in the creation of timekeeping.
In terms of the first actual watch as we would refer to it today, it is believed that it was developed in approximately the year 1500. Enormous clock towers evolved into smaller, more portable devices over time; however the first watch faces were actually attached to belts or necklaces. These first inventions were also very heavy and egg-shaped, which shows just how much of a change the watch market has undergone.
Nowadays, designer watches are a device that we often take for granted. However, next time you check the time, it is worth considering their deep history and thanking our cavemen ancestors for their fascination with time!
