Even the Greeks introduced jewelry into their war armor, like metal cuffs and amulets that had the job of protecting men in battle.
Following that, it was the Egyptians who used the jewels.As is known from the numerous representations and finds exhibited in museums, these people particularly loved large and richly decorated jewels that were rather showy. These were, in fact, a symbol of power and nobility of those who wore them. As time went on, jewelry acquired an even more important value, but it was only with the Industrial Revolution that they became commonplace.
When it comes to men’s watches, their story is relatively recent. As a matter of fact, the first watch was made around 150 years ago. After the Second World War this item became part of accessories that were used daily. But only thanks to innovative technology has the watch been able to acquire new functionalities. In 1957 the first digital battery was inserted into the watch, and a decade later in 1967, Seiko made Astron, the first quartz model in the world. Then a few years ago the smart watch was introduced to the market. The smart watch is fully digitized and able to replace not only the analog version but also the smartphone.
