The first women’s watch emerged in the early 19th century, specifically in 1810, when a timepiece was crafted for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples and sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. At that time, women’s dresses lacked pockets to carry the pocket watches men wore, and societal norms forbade women from wearing watches. Jewelers thus devised a solution by concealing timekeepers in bracelets and ornaments, giving rise to the first wristwatches.
