Classic Watches
</h2>
<!-- Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch -->
<p class="watch_description">
A watch is a timepiece intended to be carried or worn by a person. It is designed to keep working despite the motions caused
by the person's activities. A wristwatch is designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch
strap or other type of bracelet. A pocket watch is designed for a person to carry in a pocket. Watches
progressed in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century.
During most of its history the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding
a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. In the 1960s the electronic quartz
watch was invented, which was powered by a battery and kept time with a vibrating quartz crystal. By
the 1980s the quartz watch had taken over most of the market from the mechanical watch. Today most watches
that are inexpensive and medium-priced, used mainly for timekeeping, have quartz movements. Expensive
collectible watches, valued more for their elaborate craftsmanship, aesthetic appeal and glamorous design
than for simple timekeeping, often have traditional mechanical movements, even though they are less accurate
and more expensive than electronic ones. Various extra features, called "complications", such as moon-phase
displays and the different types of tourbillon, are sometimes included. Modern watches often display
the day, date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many other functions. Time-related features
such as timers, chronographs and alarm functions are common. Some modern designs incorporate calculators,
GPS and Bluetooth technology or have heart-rate monitoring capabilities. Some watches use radio clock
technology to regularly correct the time.

Mechanical Watch
</h2>
<!-- Take from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_watch -->
<p class="watch_description">
A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to modern quartz watches which
function electronically. It is driven by a spring (called a mainspring) which must be wound periodically.
Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power the balance wheel, a weighted wheel which
oscillates back and forth at a constant rate. A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels
to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward
at a constant rate. This makes the 'ticking' sound characteristic of all mechanical watches. Mechanical
watches evolved in Europe in the 17th century from spring powered clocks, which appeared in the 15th
century. Mechanical watches are typically not as accurate as modern electronic quartz watches, and they
require periodic cleaning by a skilled watchmaker. Since the 1970s, quartz watches have taken over most
of the watch market, and mechanical watches are now mostly a high-end product, purchased for aesthetic
reasons, for appreciation of their fine craftsmanship, or as a status symbol.

Pocket Watch
</h2>
<!-- Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_watch -->
<p class="watch_description">
A pocket watch (or pocketwatch) is a watch that is made to be carried in a pocket, as opposed to a wristwatch, which is strapped
to the wrist. They were the most common type of watch from their development in the 16th century until
wristwatches became popular after World War I during which a transitional design, trench watches, were
used by the military. Pocket watches generally have an attached chain to allow them to be secured to
a waistcoat, lapel, or belt loop, and to prevent them from being dropped. Watches were also mounted on
a short leather strap or fob, when a long chain would have been cumbersome or likely to catch on things.
This fob could also provide a protective flap over their face and crystal. Women's watches were normally
of this form, with a watch fob that was more decorative than protective. Chains were frequently decorated
with a silver or enamel pendant, often carrying the arms of some club or society, which by association
also became known as a fob. Ostensibly practical gadgets such as a watch winding key, vesta case, or
a cigar cutter also appeared on watch chains, although usually in an overly decorated style. Also common
are fasteners designed to be put through a buttonhole and worn in a jacket or waistcoat, this sort being
frequently associated with and named after train conductors.
