To understand the evolution of watches we should understand how it evolved. The first evidence of watches was the sundial of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Later evolved the portable watches in Italy around 1524 B.C. The reason for this late development of timepieces was due to the fact that these watches were driven by weight. These watches had only one hand and had to be wound at least twice in a day. Even then the time was inaccurate in these timepieces.

The next step in watch history was the use of the balance spring in the timepieces. These timepieces showed accurate time to the precision of fraction of a minute. Hence their popularity increased.
