Product Information
In the 16th century Europeans began to craft watches by hand; a tradition that thrived until the mechanization of the 20th century replaced the individual watchmaker with mass production. Hand methods were further eclipsed by the advent of the electronic watch in the 1960s, and many people feared that the mechanical watch would disappear entirely.Product Identifiers
