Pocket Watches

Pocket watches are timekeeping devices designed to be carried in a pocket, rather than worn on the wrist. Typically featuring a metal case, a glass cover, and a hinged lid, these watches often display the time on a dial with hour and minute hands. They usually employ a mechanical movement, powered by a mainspring, although quartz variations exist. Pocket watches were popular from the 16th century until the early 20th century, serving as a fashionable accessory and a symbol of status. They usually come with an attached chain for secure carrying. The design often reflects intricate craftsmanship, with many pocket watches featuring ornate engravings or decorations. While their popularity has declined with the advent of wristwatches and digital timekeeping devices, pocket watches are still appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for their historical significance and craftsmanship.
