Watches were invented by Christiaan Huygens and originally worn in pockets on chains. During the Napoleonic Wars, Breguet became known for making pocket watches that could quickly tell the time without ceremonies, as Napoleon ordered watches from them. Pocket watches gradually disappeared after the wars as wristwatches became popular with civilians, though now people increasingly check the time on cell phones instead of watches.
