No one country invented the quartz watch. America, Swiss and Japan all made important contributions to the making of the quartz watch.
The first portable timepieces resembling watches were made in the 16th century by German clockmakers Peter Henlein and Jost Burgi. These early watches were not very accurate and were worn as decorative accessories rather than for timekeeping purposes.
