Watch culture and wearing etiquette
Watch history: in 1656, the famous Dutch physicist Huygens applied Galileo discovered the principle of “equal oscillation”, first successfully made the first pendulum clock in human history, began the use of mechanical devices to calculate the time of the precedent. By the middle of the 19th century, many countries began to make clocks and watches, and in 1868, the French watchmaker Philippe and the Poles, amounting to two hundred people, jointly made the world's first wristwatch for an aristocratic woman in Hungary Trend and current situation: in the life of modern society, the watch is no longer a luxury item.
With the phenomenon of “one person, many watches” becoming more and more common, people's pursuit of watches is no longer satisfied with a single timekeeping function, but hope that through the ever-changing case modeling, form and form of the dial design to expand the functional scope of the watch, increase the artistic taste of the watch, so as to make it become a kind of personality, reflecting the identity of the new trend of jewelry! The sun rises, the shadow of the long pole falls to the west, as the sun moves toward the zenith, the shadow slowly shortens and rotates around the pole, at noon, the sun reaches the top of the head, the shadow is the shortest (at the time of the summer solstice, there is not even a shadow in most places) after noon, the sun is at the west side of the pole, the shadow of the pole falls to the east, and gradually becomes longer. The shadow of the pole is moving all the time and is oriented around the point of the pole, forming a right-handed direction. The reason why the right-handed, because the pole is the northern hemisphere of the ancient people at that time to measure the sun, because the sun throughout the year, are biased towards the south of the reason.
If the ancient people in the southern hemisphere to set up a pole to measure the sun, the rotation of its shadow is exactly the opposite of the northern hemisphere observation results, its shadow will be left-handed. When people want to manufacture mechanical watches, has been accustomed to the right direction to determine the flying time of the ancients, naturally chose the pointer type of rotation we now use, that is, the right way of rotation Early watches are very expensive, in addition to timekeeping, mainly used to show off the status of the status. Now as our living standards continue to improve, the speed of technological development, replica watches have been popularized, and quickly used by people as a fashion focus or symbol of success.
