Pocket Watches

Everyone likes the pocket watch, this is the Pocket Watches information pages.When I was younger I have thought of the real value of watches, even thought for a long time I had a clear preference toward new advances watches, out of the simple reason that what is new is simply better, I have come to learn to appreciate the antique and sometime just old pocket watches, antique watches are something that fascinates me today and I would not miss an opportunity to explore any watch that is more than 60 years old.

As many others I started having interest in watches through a close relative of mine, looking at his collection and the stories he told about each single pocket watch in his collection it gave me a sense of not only collecting but exploring and learning about societies and history, today I am even more impressed by antique watch collecting because u have come to learn how watches represent our journey into time and how keeping time is something that is more than just looking at a watch but being connected to the universe and maybe even beyond.

In general we are all burning through time, and I have no doubt that ancient humans did not have a clear understanding of life, because they could not keep time, and if you notice that those civilizations that lived before the invention of the watch had their scientists working hard on keeping the time, the longest day of the year or the shortest, a ray of sun that enters a small hole in a ceiling and strange stone structures that are used one day a year.

When discussing antique pocket watch collecting you can not help but mention the antique pocket watch, this elegant way of carrying a watch is almost extinct, but in the past this was the way people (mostly man) carried their watches around, flashing it to everyone in the street. The pocket watch has become a status symbol almost immediately and is in fact the first personal watch that has been manufactured.
