Why Timepieces Are Traditionally Worn on the Left Wrist

Before smart tech and quartz movements, most timepieces were wound by hand. And since the majority of people are right-handed, wearing a timepiece on the left made it easier to adjust with the dominant hand—without interrupting daily tasks or the risk of damaging the timepiece from frequent impact.

Even today, timepiece crowns and buttons are designed with this tradition in mind. It’s a nod to function, form, and timeless heritage.

That said, there’s no strict rule. You can wear a timepiece on whichever wrist feels most comfortable or stylistically fitting for you. Your style is personal. Whether you wear your Eartha on the left, right, or even used as a necklace, own your time.
