  A pocket watch, just as the name implies, is a watch that is carried in the pocket. It is very well different from a wrist watch which is most commonly used by people and fastened to the wrist.   It came into existence in the year 1510, in Nuremberg, Germany, where Peter Henlein who was a master locksmith invented it. He kept manufacturing these watches until the 16th century when the manufacturing spread throughout the rest of Europe.     In the fifteenth century, pocket watches were used to distinguish between the craftsmen and members of the upper class of the society as only the wealthy could use it. An early prototype of the pocket watch was worn in this era around the neck, rather than on a pocket watch chain, like an Albert T Bar chain. Historical figures
