The first wrist watch was made by Patek Philippe in 1868. The original wrist watches were fragile, in that sudden or jerky movements could damage the mechanisms, and they were also considered effeminate. This quickly changed with the invention of the waterproof casings, and the issuing of wrist watches to officers of the Austrian Imperial navy in 1880, and the appearance of the santo-dumont by Cartier (one of the most famous early wrist watches).
The progression of the wrist watch in the 20th century was rapid and impressive. Rolex developed the Rolex Oyster, a water resistant watch that is worn in a cross channel swim, and later the Rolex develops the submariner capable of going down to 305m or 1000ft. Lips produced the first battery powered watch in 1953 and then the biggest invention of all, the Swiss quartz watch was introduced by Girard-Perregaux in 1966.
The quartz watches have drastically increased watch precision, reliability, and also reduced the cost of watches. The quartz revolution has also bought the Japanese watchmakers, such as Citizen, Seiko and Casio to the fore.
