1. The wristwatch, today the most common watch available, was first invented by Patek Phillippe at the end of the nineteenth century. When first invented the wristwatch was worn by women only and it wasn’t until the beginning of the twentieth century that the wristwatch was worn by a man, Mr. Alberto Santos-Dumont. Mr. Santos-Dumont, busy working on the invention of the aeroplane, had difficulty checking the time while in his aircraft. He turned to his friend, Mr. Louis Cartier, and asked him to create a watch just for him. Cartier created the perfect watch for Santos-Dumont and soon he was selling wristwatches to other men all around Paris. During World War I, military personnel found that the use of the wristwatch, especially on the battlefield,proved to be far more beneficial than pocket watches. Many European and American officers kept their wristwatches, once the war was over, thus popularising wristwatches in Western civilization.

2. The first mechanical alarm clock was invented by Levi Hutchins, of New Hampshire, in the United States, in 1787. This device he made only for himself however, and it only rang at 4 AM, in order to wake him for his job. The French inventor Antoine Redier was the first to patent an adjustable mechanical alarm clock, in 1847.
