OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Time
To set the time, gently pull the crown all the way out and move the hands in either direction. Once you have set the correct time, push the crown home again. The watch should now run at the correct time.
Opening A Hunter Pocket Watch
To open a full hunter case, press the button on top of the winder. To close a full hunter watch, depress the winder, it is important that you don't "snap" the case-lid shut, doing this will wear out the latch.
Winding Mechanical Watches
We recommend that you wind your watch at about the same time every day, preferably in the morning. Turn the crown clockwise gently and steadily and stop when you feel resistance. Excessively forceful winding could damage the movement.
Typically, mechanical watches have an accuracy +/- 60 seconds within a 24-hour period. This is due to temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and altitude affecting the movement. For this reason, you should reset the time daily when winding the watch.

With hundreds of timepieces to choose from, how do you know which style of pocket watch is best for you? We've broken things down for you with eight things to consider.
CHAIN TYPE
We offer up to six chain types to choose from. You can select which type you want to receive using the dropdown.
MOVEMENT
You can choose a pocket watch that has mechanical, Swiss mechanical or quartz movements. All require regular winding.
CASE STYLE
From open face to double hunter, we have a variety of cases to choose from. Skeleton variants allow you to view the inner workings.
COLOUR
Our main pocket watch range comes in chrome silver or gold, or you can choose from a small selection of rose gold.
WINDER POSITION
Our pocket watches have their winder positioned either at 3 o'clock or, unlike wristwatches, 12 o'clock.
SIZE
Each pocket watch has a different diameter. However most of our popular styles are between 45mm-50mm. Our pendant watches are smaller.
ENGRAVABLE
Many of our watches are engravable and this can be selected on the product page. Positioning is dependant on the case style.
NUMERAL TYPE
Most of our pocket watches have Roman numerals, as with any classic timepiece. Masonic and Arabic are also popular options.
Engraving
A pocket watch makes a wonderful gift: it is thoughtful, sophisticated and ever-stylish, guaranteed to be cherished by the recipient for years to come. If you’re looking for something extra special for a loved one or for a special occasion, why not opt for a personalised pocket watch?
Our Greenwich packaging is more than just a box; it's an enhancement to your presentation. Whether you're gifting a pocket watch or simply adding a touch of elegance to your collection, our packaging elevates the experience of owning and displaying your timepiece, making it even more special.
Frequently Asked QuestionsWe get many questions from our customers when they're considering purchasing a pocket watch. Here are a handful of what we're asked most. If you have further questions or need advice, please reach out to our team who'll be more than happy to help.
Typically, you should wind your pocket watch every day to ensure accurate timekeeping. Some watches may have a power reserve indicator to help you gauge when to wind it.
A hunter case has a latch which catches on the rim of the front cover and keeps the cover closed. To open the watch, you depress the crown (the winding knob) which is connected through a spring to the latch. To close a hunter-case watch, it's important that you don't "snap" the case-lid shut. Doing this will wear out the spot on the case-rim where the latch engages.
To open a double hunter case, press the button on top of the winder gently to open the front case. Press the button further to open both the front and back cases. To close a double hunter watch, press the winder, it is important that you don't "snap" the case-lid shut, doing this will wear out the latch.
These operate just like standard quartz wrist watches. To set the date (if this is a feature on the watch), pull the crown out to the first detent and turn anti-clockwise. To set the time, pull the crown all the way out (or second detent) and wind clockwise. Push the crown all the way back in to start the movement and begin normal time keeping.
Clean the outside of the pocket watch with a microfiber cloth - don’t use cleaners or water as these can damage the surface and internals. We include a free cleaning cloth with every order.
Most pocket watches are manual-winding, so you need to turn the crown clockwise to wind the mainspring. Be careful not to overwind, as it can damage the mechanism.
We offer free engraving on all compatible products. You can add your personalised message before you add the product to your basket.
We understand that sometimes, particularly when buying a pocket watch as a gift, you may need to receive your watch as soon as possible.
In these instances, choose Special Delivery for priority engraving service. This means your engraving will be prioritised and pushed to the front of our queue and dispatched on the same working day. To benefit, orders must be placed before 3pm.
Our standard engraving service will take 1-3 working days for dispatch.
There are three fonts to choose from for your engraving. These are Times New Roman, Amerzone Script and Zapf Chancery, examples of which can be viewed on the engraving options page. Please remember, we cannot engrave two different font styles onto the same pocket watch.
We have many delivery options for you to choose depending on how quickly you need your timepiece. We offer free UK delivery as standard, which takes 3-5 working days.
You can upgrade your delivery for a fee and get your purchase as soon as the next working day, or collect for free in our store in Coventry.

How To Wear
A pocket watch can be worn in various ways to suit personal style and occasion. The traditional vest pocket style involves attaching the watch to a chain and securing it to a vest or shirt pocket. Alternatively, you can wear it as a pendant on a long chain, attach it to a belt loop, or display it on a waistcoat chain. For a contemporary twist, place the watch in a pants pocket, attach the chain to your belt, or secure it to a shirt or waistcoat buttonhole.
