Cartier gave him a leather-band wristwatch which Dumont had with him for longtime. Cartier being a popular figure in Paris was soon able to sell these wristwatches to other men.

During the First World War, army officers discovered the far more convenience of wristwatches in battleground situations. Later, demobilized European and American officers kept back their wristwatches, thus popularizing it amongst the western civilian culture. The trend has then spread to other parts of the world, wherever accurate and convenient time references were required.

Straps Vs Bracelets

However, rubber straps are not as durable as metal straps, but they tend to last longer then leather straps. The disadvantage of rubber straps is that they are not as versatile as leather straps and steel bracelets. You will find yourself hard pressed on wearing rubber strap watch.
