A pocket watch is an analogue watch that is carried in a persons pocket. Traditionally they have a pocket watch chain which attaches the watch to the waist coat of the wearer.

Pocket watches generally come in two varieties: open faced or hunter. The hunter has a case which closes over the watch to protect its face. There are two varieties of hunter pocket watches: half hunter and full hunter. A half hunter pocket watch allows you to view the time without opening the case, by way of a glass front.

Although pocket watches have largely been superseded by wrist watches, people still wear them today and they are often given as wedding gifts.

We stock both quartz and mechanical pocket watches to allow you the choice between the convenience of a battery watch that requires no maintenance and the more traditional hand-wound mechanical pocket watch.
