Reading this tread and some history of watches is great. Some of the watches below have already mentioned but I think they are of major significance.
1. Cartier Santos - the first watch to change the whole culture of wristwatches for men.
2. Rolex Oyster - first waterproof watch.
3. Seiko Quartz - first quartz watch which nearly destroyed the Swiss watch industry.
4. Swatch - brought the Swiss industry back from almost extinction.
5. Ingersoll Mickey Mouse - epitomises low quality and now part of our daily language.
6. Hamilton Pulsar - first electronic watch.
