Choose a pocket watch movement
Mechanical hand-wound models
A hand-wound pocket watch requires regular winding. The exact winding method and expected running time vary by model, so follow the instructions supplied on the product page rather than applying a general schedule.
Automatic mechanical models
An automatic movement may use motion to maintain its power after an initial wind. The Orient Express automatic skeleton pocket watch is one example; its own specifications determine operation and reserve.
Quartz pocket watches
Quartz models use a battery and usually require less daily handling. The Allan Kardec quartz pocket watch illustrates this practical option.
Case, dial and cover
Open face, covered or skeleton
An open face gives direct access to the dial; a cover protects it when closed; a skeleton or openworked design reveals part of the movement. Decorative gears do not always form part of the working mechanism.
Dimensions and readability
Check case diameter, thickness, weight, dial markings and chain length where listed. A larger case may be easier to read but less discreet in a waistcoat pocket.
Modern, Victorian and steampunk styles
The modern transparent pocket watch shows a cleaner direction, while other models use Victorian, Gothic, nautical or mechanical motifs. These are modern watches unless explicitly documented as antiques.
How to wear a pocket watch
A chain can attach to a waistcoat, jacket or belt depending on its clasp. Pendant models may be worn around the neck when designed for it. Check the supplied chain and fastening rather than assuming every model suits the same placement.
