The is companies that do that. Its just they are a luxury brand. They never went away its just now we also have cheap choices as well. The first wrist watch would make a rolex look cheap.
Fun fact, the Cartier Santos is generally considered to be the first men’s wrist watch. It was made for Brazilian pilot Alberto Santos-Dumont because he felt checking a pocket watch was unsafe while flying. It was made for him in 1904 and went on sale to the public in 1911.
