The first generation of modern mechanical watches, as we all know is about the creation of the Year in Europe in 1000. It uses a complex system of weights and pulleys to the small arrow is currently known to our hour and minute hands. The current version of the prototype design, these primitive body clock is a huge need of repairs. Their body weight and pulley system reset several times a day.

These restrictions did not stop the popularity of the mechanical clock, they quickly large tower was built in Europe. These huge monuments proved the wisdom and humanity can still be seen on this day.

Coil spring technology                                                                                                                                                  
Many years later, Peter Henlein credited with the invention of the coil spring. This cumbersome technologyreplaced weight and pulley system was used in mechanical watches. Henlein eventually created a compact pocket watch (only shows the clock), can carry. Jost Burgi will be credited with the minute hand in 1577 and in 1590 the second hand.

Continue to watch the evolution over the years, many new and innovative added. Such an improvement by Thomas Tompion – spring balance. This technology allows the watch to a very long time there is no liquidation.

Jewelry watches
Another innovation is the key to the realization of Theo Nicholas recorded in 1704 (although it was not until after the death). Theo valuable gemstones, can be used as a fulcrum, because the stones will not wear, unlike the current pivot is the construction of metal. Jewelry watches used to minimize the friction is a technology still in use today in modern watches. Despite the progress of this historic look at technology, accuracy has not yet up to standard. The British Government has set up a cash reward the creation of a departure from the less than six seconds every day watch more than six weeks. This is not an easy task, but 40 years later, John Harrison completed his fourth prototype watches only difference to the accuracy of only 5 seconds to 40 days of the request.

Pedometer
Abraham-Louis Perrelet credited the establishment of a pedometer, innovation is a difficult watch. This newly discovered technology, the driving force, he watches through the campaign; just walking is enough to watch the wound, basically negates the need to wind a watch is used daily. The technology has been further strengthened when Abraham Louis Breguet watches took the form and to reduce it boils down to a package small enough to wear a person’s wrist. Watches was born.
