First Pocket watch, Peter Henlein
Portable timepieces were made possible by the invention of the mainspring. Peter Henlein was the first German craftsman to make ornamental timepieces worn as pendants, which were the first timepieces to be worn on the body. In the early 16th century, he became the first to install small movements in the capsule of a pomander with olfactory essences. In 1505, Peter Henlein of Nuremberg was the first to build the portable pomander watch, the first watch of the world.
