The invention of the watch in 1504 is often attributed to the German inventor Peter Henlein. He created one of the earliest portable timekeeping devices, known as the "Nuremberg egg," which was a spring-driven clock that could be worn as a pendant. This marked a significant advancement in horology, transitioning from large stationary clocks to smaller, portable timepieces. Henlein's innovations laid the groundwork for the development of modern watches.
