• Watches were developed in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century.
• During most of its history the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. These are called mechanical watches.
• In the 1960s the electronic quartz watch was invented, which was powered by a battery and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal. By the 1980s the quartz watch had taken over most of the market from the mechanical watch.
• Historically, this is called the quartz revolution (also known as quartz crisis in Switzerland).
• Developments in the 2010s include digital watches, which are elaborate computer-like electronic devices designed to be worn on a wrist.
