The beginnings of tweezers: primitive but useful
The history of tweezers goes back a long way, to ancient times. The earliest versions were crude instruments made from natural materials such as wood, bone or metal. Although they were not nearly as precise as modern tweezers, they still fulfilled important functions in everyday life, such as pulling splinters or gripping small objects.
Over the centuries, tweezers evolved, especially in medicine and surgery. In the 18th century, some manufacturers began to produce tweezers specifically for precision mechanical work to meet the demands of the burgeoning watchmaking industry. Here, precision was of the utmost importance in order to handle tiny watch movement parts safely.
