Retrospective on the rise of the women's wristwatch and the reasons for its success. From Cartier to Swiss Made Watch, the evolution of an infinitely modern model.
The watch was not always the one we know today. If it is worn today with a bracelet, this was not necessarily the case several centuries ago. Let's take a quick look back at the origins of this well-adopted model.
There are several legends about thewatch history. A single element is common to all these stories. This is the motivation that drove such a creation: practicality. At the time, standing clocks were in vogue. They indicate the time quite precisely and allow each household to measure the course of the day. Effective, yes, but impractical. Alternatives, less imposing and therefore more easily transportable, are rapidly emerging. The small pocket watch in particular is an example of this.
History will remember that the founder of the Cartier house was the first to have grafted a watch case onto a bracelet. And the idea did not come to him spontaneously. Indeed, it was an aviator friend who gave him the idea. The latter complains of not being able to read the time when he is in flight, at the risk otherwise of putting his life in danger. Mr. Cartier therefore developed the first men's wristwatch of his generation. The model is then very quickly adopted by the female sex who seizes it as a new fashion accessory.
Like a bracelet, the women's wristwatch wraps around the wrist. It therefore occupies a strategic place in the composition of an outfit. Some watchmakers will tell you that a tocante is above all a practical object and not a vulgar accessory, Swiss Made Watch is convinced that it can be both at the same time.
The women's quartz or automatic wristwatch is plural. It embodies the meaning you give it. Through our brand, we have decided to give it the mission of participating in building more sustainable fashion.
