Vario 1918 Trench featured on The Slender Wrist
By the time of the First World War, the wristwatch had become an essential part of a commissioned officer’s uniform. The unprecedented scale of the war made synchronized timekeeping vital in the coordination of battlefield tactics.
After the war, vets continued to wear their watches as they returned to civilian life. Naturally, once battle-hardened veterans made wristwatches cool, the general population was quick to adopt them as well.
The boom in demand during the war sparked the mass production of “trench watches,” as we know them today. Named after the year the war ended, the Vario 1918 is a tribute to this grim but fascinating point in world history.
