INVICTA JUST FOR HER THE ESSENCE OF FEMINITY According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the first wristwatch was designed in 1868 for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary. Originally designed as more of a statement piece for women, the watch was a symbol of fashion, wealth and status rather than a necessary accessory. It wasn’t until the battlegrounds of World War I that men replaced the traditional, masculine, pocket-watch in favor of the practicality and accessibility of the wristwatch. Horological and style history have shown that the women’s watches, while often intricately designed, have consistently been much smaller, imparting a fashionable delicacy. Now, as women’s lifestyles have evolved to encompass the world outside of the home, their needs and design aesthetics have come to reflect those shifts. SEC. 91 ISSUE NR 3 YEAR 2020
