My phone will often ring with customers wanting to buy a Pocketwatches. I think it has something to do with celebrities like the Mentalists Simon Baker and Sherlock Holmes bringing to life the sophistication of these timeless timepieces. But these raises the question - "where do I wear a pocket watch". If you are in the market here are some questions I usually run through with customers to help them choose the perfect one.
Where do you want to wear it?
Work Pocket Watches:
If it’s for work I usually suggest a plain silver pocket watch that isn’t too expensive. The Quartz watches are best as they can take a few knocks. If you are wearing it daily then there is no need for winding, just change the battery every few years. We really love the Silver Pocket Watch Royal London 90015.01 for work.
Casual Pocket Watches:
If it’s for dressy or casual wearing I then suggest going for a mechanical Pocketwatch. This is because if a quartz watch sits in the draw for a long time when you come to use it you could find that the battery is flat. A mechanical watch only needs to be wound and the time set before you are good to go. This type of watch can be used time and time again over many years. The model I recommend and is one of our top sellers is Silver Pocket Watch 90005.01
