Why does a reeve wear a horn in the middle ages?
I spent some time researching this, and was unable to find a reference to a reeve wearing or carrying a horn. What I did find was that haywards, who were manorial officers assigned the job of seeing that the fences and hedgerows were in good order, carried horns which they blew if animals got out of an enclosure.
How was the first wristwatch invented?
The wristwatch was invented by Patek Philippe at the end of the 19th century. At the time, it was considered a woman's accessory. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos-Dumont, who had difficulty checking the time while in his first aircraft (Dumont was working on the invention of the aeroplane), asked his friend Louis Cartier for a watch he could use more easily. Cartier gave him a leather-band wristwatch from which Dumont never separated. Being a popular figure in Paris, Cartier was soon able to sell these watches to other men. During the First World War, officers in all armies soon discovered that in battlefield situations, quickly glancing at a watch on their wrist was far more convenient than fumbling in their jacket pockets for an old-fashioned pocket watch. As the scale of battles increased, artillery and infantry officers were required to synchronize watches in order to conduct attacks at precise moments, whilst artillery officers were in need of a large number of accurate timekeepers for rangefinding and gunnery. Army contractors began to issue reliable, cheap, mass-produced wristwatches which were ideal for these purposes. When the war ended, demobilized European and American officers were allowed to keep their wristwatches, helping to popularize the items amongst middle-class Western civilian culture. I recall seeing a statue of the inventor of the wristwatch in Nurnberg (Nuremberg) Germany. I saw this in 1957 and I seem to recall that the invention happened in the 17th century.
