Contrary to the time-honoured pocket watch, the wristwatch evolved as a cultural trend in the 20th century. Both shared the same functionality despite their differences, but with the intention of being worn on the wrist, practical changes had to be made. Watch cases shrank dramatically, from averaging a diameter of 50mm—with a range of 43mm to 55mm—to a more wrist-apt 30mm by the roaring ’20s. The crown, initially at 12 o’clock, moved to a more accessible position at 3 o’clock. But the real game-changer was the emergence of lugs, which facilitated the attachment of straps and bracelets.
