Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) a French mathematician and philosopher was the first person ever reported to wear a watch on their wrist. With his pocket watch and a piece of string, Blaise Pascal attached his pocket watch to his wrist.  Also at age eighteen Pascal invented the Pascaline, a numerical wheel calculator that was made to help his father a French tax collector count taxes.
