About Wrist Watch
A wristwatch is a timepiece that is designed to be worn by a person. It is intended to keep on working regardless of the person's activities. A wristwatch is to be worn around the wrist, with the help of the attached straps or in the form of a bracelet. Wristwatches were worn by the military men near the end of the 19th century, when there was a need for synchronizing in the training exercises during the war, without enlightening the plans to the opponents through signaling. A wristwatch is way more than just a time-keeper. It is a sign of tradition and history enclosed in a showpiece with intense craftsmanship. Wristwatches have now days become a fashion accessory more than a requirement in the recent past due to the rise in mobile phones and other appliances which are replacing the basic functionality of watches.
