Pocket Watches
Our pocket watch range comprises of many different iconic styles including:
- Mechanical Pocket Watches
With a visible mechanical skeleton dial, our mechanical pocket watches are a nod to the first pocket watches seen in 15th century Italy. Developed in a time before the use of batteries, these pocket watches were hand-wound and used a clockwork mechanism to tell the time. For an authentic look, our mechanical pocket watches take inspiration from this with a design which allows you to see all of the inner mechanical workings.
- Hunter Pocket Watches
Our Hunter Pocket Watches are encased with a spring-hinged metal lid and have a design inspired by the pocket watches first used by hunters in England due to their robustness in tough environments. This covering closes over the watch dial and protects it if dropped, whilst also shielding the watch from dust, debris and anything else which could cause scratching or damage.
Like the classic pocket watches they are inspired by, our Hunter Pocket Watches can easily be opened with one hand - whether one-handed operation is needed because the other hand is holding the reins of a horse like the hunters of years gone by, or simply because there is any other task at hand.
- Arabic Numeral Display Pocket Watches
For a more contemporary take on a pocket watch, our Arabic numeral display pocket watches use Arabic numerals which are more commonplace on modern watches, rather than the Roman numerals seen on the first pocket watches.
- Open Face Pocket Watches
The classic style of pocket watch, the time is always on display with our open face pocket watches. The open-faced design of these pocket watches provides complete visibility and makes telling the time incredibly easy.

History of Pocket Watches
A popular way of telling the time since they were first developed in Italy towards the end of the 15th century, pocket watches quickly became an everyday item.
Whilst they were once the most common way of telling the time for many gentlemen, the advent of the wristwatch saw pocket watches become less commonplace. However, whilst they were not seen as often beyond the World War I, this did not affect their desirability. Instead, pocket watches became more of a fashion item - reserved for special occasions and formal wear. This desirability continues today.
