Although you can now check the time on almost any device with a display, classic wristwatches remain very popular. One could even argue that they have been experiencing a renaissance in Poland since the mid-1990s, gaining a growing number of enthusiasts.

The art of watchmaking is the ultimate form of precision mechanics. The first clocks were intimidating in their size and primarily adorned towers or palace drawing rooms. It was only a matter of time before the wristwatch was built. This happened in 1571. Once the size barrier was broken, watches began to function as jewelry. The first wristwatches were considered exclusively jewelry for women. In fact, the owner of the first wristwatch was Queen Elizabeth I. The watch in question was made of steel, but gold was also used in its construction.
