The traditional watch system arose from sailing ships of the late 19th century and was used by the [[Navy of Burgundie]] and the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]]. It consisted of 5 four-hour periods and 2 two-hour periods. It shifted considerably during the Industrial Revolution to fit factory schedules better, but since de-industrialization in the 1960s this system has come back.
