DID YOU KNOW?

  • The first record of time dates back to 2000BC which is over 4000 years ago, and it was the same way in which we measure time now, in segments of 60.
  • Wristwatches were actually first designed for women. At the time watches were created it was the fashion for men to have a pocket watch. The first women to wear a wrist watch was in fact Elizabeth I, which was gifted to her by Robert Dudley.
  • The most expensive watch ever sold at auction is American actor Paul Newman's Rolex which was sold for $17.8million. At the time of its sale it broke world records.
