Many historians believe that the first watches were invented by Egyptians in 1500 BC. People of Egypt invented a mechanical way of calculating time by the flow of running water. Italians monks were the first to invent accurate clocks. The year was 1524 AD. The clocks were meant to tell the time when monks needed to pray. At that time only acoustical indicators were used, there were no minute and hour hands.

Pierre Le Roy came the closest to inventing what we might say would serve as a watch. This in the 18th century.
However, for the two centuries preceeding, there were "watches", they just didn't keep time very well. Christian Huygens is a name of note in the long development of reliable watches, though. In the 17th century.
