Watches can be traced back to the 1500s with the invention of pocket watches. Thesefirst timepieces were expensive, heavy, needed continuous winding and were of by as much as several hours per day. There main function was that of a status symbol.

Over time watches became smaller, more accurate and cheaper to produce and in 1880 Constant Girard developed the concept of wristwatches and they weremade for German naval officers, ordered by Emperor Guillaume I of Germany, of which 2,000 were produces.

Now we jump to the present and it seems we have come full circle with the world’s most expensive watch.
