The first mechanical watches emerged in the 15th century, with the earliest known examples dating back to the late 1400s in Europe. These early timepieces were large and often mounted in towers or worn as pendants. The invention of the spring-driven watch in the 16th century allowed for more portable designs, leading to the development of wristwatches in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
