Wrist Watches

Miniaturization of the pocket watch lead to the wristwatch. Wrist watches have the same mechanism as pocket watches but scaled down to be worn on the wrist. I have also seen some pocket watches be converted to wrist watches with big dials. A few of the watches are shown: Zimak is an Iranian name brad made by Rostam Moharami. Damas is an Iranian name spelled backwards! It's actually Samad, the name of the watchmaker. Nostarus is a Tourbillon watch. The skeleton Edwards West watch was modified to have clear front face. The Alvarex on the left (#60) uses 0.3 mm screws, and it's a marvel of engineering  in miniaturization by the Swiss.
