The Swiss watch industry has started in the middle of the 16th century in Geneva. In those days, not only big tower clocks, table clocks and wall clocks to be used at home but also portable watches were already produced in Europe, mainly in northern part of Italy, southern part of Germany and France. In the 17th century, the watchmaking in those area gradually weakened, and at the beginning of the 18th century, Geneva became one of important centers of watchmaking.
