Description

1st World War Wrist Watch. Nickel plated, manual wind with later leather strap. White dial with sub dial to six o'clock. In perfect working order. Wristwatches from the First World War (1914-1918) represent a pivotal moment in the history of horology, as this period marked the transition from pocket watches to wristwatches for men. Before WWI, wristwatches were considered feminine accessories, and men primarily used pocket watches. However, the practical needs of soldiers during the war led to the widespread adoption of wristwatches for men, forever changing watch culture.
