World War One - originally known as the Great War and now
best known as "WWI" gave the world temporary peace and the
everlasting wrist watch. This new devise allowed a soldier to use
his pocket for items other than a trusted pocket watch. A few
European watch companies had previously flirted with the idea
of tethering a watch to a gentleman's wrist, yet it didn't gain favor.
This design was considered decidedly feminine. Soldiers fortunate
enough to return home from the WWI battlefield and with one of
these new watches on their wrist, soon ended this fashion dispute.
The wrist watch was born.
European and American watch companies during and after WWI
found ways of modifying existing smaller sized pocket watch cases
- to accommodate a leather strap or metallic bracelet to fill this
immediate demand. Few of these early, "transition" wrist watches
remain today. Retooling the Armies and Navies after the hostilities
of the Great War - to prepare for long term peace - fueled more
military interest the wrist watch. American and European watch
factories understood this new market and began producing
timepieces with the soldier and sailor in mind. America's first
peace time military draft began in 1940 which convinced watch
factories to ramp up this production. When hostilities began,
in December of 1941, American watch companies ceased all
civilian watch fabrication and instead focused on gaining and
filling government contracts for military wrist watches, military
pocket watches, navigation clocks and other critical military timers.
These military timepieces were created for victory. Durability and
accuracy was the goal. Many of these epic WWII military contract
wrist watches and military contract pocket-watches have survived
untold demands and remain in a state that will allow for their return
to full function and accuracy.
