The fist self-winding wrist-satch was invented by John Harwood, an Englishman who patented it in 1924. Today the largest watchmaking industry in the world is concentrated in the Jura Mountains and the valley of the Aar in Switzerland.
The exact time the first wristwatch appeared is not known. But soon after the beginning of the 20th century women small pocket watches began to be fitted into specially made leather or gold adaptors to be worn on the wrist. They were immediately successful, and their popularity rapidly in creased in the First World War because they could be consulted without undoing a coat or uniform jacket.
