Casio watches | Fossil watches | Adee Kaye watches

Most people would automatically say, and even argue, that the very first word of the title of this article should not be where (did we start keeping time) but actually needs to be when (in reference to the fact that this article about watches and brands like Casio watches.) While this writer would agree with you to a degree, it does need to be kept in mind that we as a race had to start somewhere (geographically) when it comes to keeping track of time. This is also as much about the Fossil watches and Adee Kaye watches as it is about the geographic places that each predecessor type of clock or time-keeping mechanism was invented ( or came into use) and times in human history when certain types of timepieces were in use.

When it comes to how far back humans have actually been keeping time, you really need to go the way back to the beginning of the human race itself to see our efforts of tracking the passage of time. The very earliest indictors of time are actually still in use today - the Sun, the Moon and the cycles of the Seasons. Our earliest ancestors had no idea what watches were and would look at you rather strangely if you mentioned either Fossil watches or Adee Kaye watches. They only knew that there were bright hours (day) and dark hours (night). They also knew there were very cold times (Winter), very hot and dry times (Summer), a time when the plants came back alive (Spring) and the leaves changed and trees became bare (Fall/Autumn).

When you are actually talking about the years that some of the currently well known timekeeping devices were created, you would need to go back to approximately 3,500 to 4,000 years to see the very first time-keeping devices. We are not talking about the commonly known Casio watches or Adee Kaye watches or even the popular Fossil watches. What became known as a timepiece back then was a Water Clock or a Candle Clock or a Sundial… none of which were portable or even easily regulated as today’s commonly known wrist and pocket watches are regulated. These (pocket and wrist watches) came into being much, much later than these first time keeping devices did. The very famous Stonehenge was built as an astrological observatory to mark the Summer and Winter Solstices and the Seasons.

The first pocket watches in history are seen in the year 1524 by Taqi al-Din. In 1524 Peter Henlein developed the spring-powered pocket watches that launched us from the past into the present. This is where the modern Casio watches, Fossil watches and Adee Kaye watches got their start. The leap from pocket watch to reliable wrist watch took place in 1904 due to the fact that a pocket watch was not very dependable for those aviators. French watchmaker Louis Cartier (Cartier jewelry is his creation) designed a wrist watch for pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont so that he could keep track of his flight time.
