With the passing of time men began to experiment with easier methods of carrying a watch. They were encased in leather pouches attached to the belt for ease of use and some men had figured out how to attach belt straps to these watches so they could be worn on the wrist. They were crude but it was a beginning of what we now know as a wristwatch.
The small ladies watches were being produced with chain link bracelets. The problem was they were fragile and not very accurate because of their size. In 1906 the expandable and flexible bracelet watch was introduced and the watch began to change. The bracelet watch was convenient but it was still fragile. People wanted the convenience of the wristwatch but they wanted durability as well. Many improvements were made, new ideas tried and finally they began to make progress with a durable, dependable, and nice looking watch.
