Who made the first woman’s wristwatch?

Abraham-Louis Breguet likely made the first women's wristwatch. In 1810, he designed an oval-shaped wristwatch for Queen Caroline Murat of Naples, the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. Breguet is commonly called the “father of modern horology.” The Swiss horologist is responsible for the creation of many clock and watch innovations that are still in use today, including the self-winding watch, the tourbillon movement, the perpetual calendar and a shock absorption system.
