Timekeeping has been a ritual amongst humans for thousands of years, from the first sundials to the intricate clock towers and houses that began to pop up all over medieval Europe, to the first delicate pocket watches that told not only the hour but also marked the status of their owner. When wristwatches began to replace pocket watches in the early twentieth century, it represented the latest cycle of evolution in the pursuit of craftsmanship and elegance, which elevates the concept of wrist-worn jewellery to function with flawless symmetry.
