Pocket watches - the comeback of the good old days

No matter what style you prefer, if you are looking for a special and eye-catching timepiece, then you are well advised with a pocket watch.

This hint of nostalgia that arises when you are asked for the time and does not take out your smartphone as is customary today, but pulls a pocket watch out of a jacket pocket, is incomparable! It will not only pleasantly surprise those around you, but also provide you with compliments. Especially the eye-catching models that have a jumping device, in which the front and back jump open to reveal the dial, stand for the shine and nobility of the watchmakers of bygone times, who are also often bought for pocket watch collections.

Since the invention of the pocket watch

by Peter Henlein in Nuremberg in 1504, a lot has changed on the market, but not the special position of the mechanical pocket watch. In the beginning, the watches were worn by men in their jacket pockets, women usually wore them on a chain around their necks or, if you look at large robes of the 17th century, also at their waists. The former accessory of the rich and noble is now also popular with the masses, so the cheaper models from Casio or Dugena are very popular today to make a fashion statement.

In addition to nostalgia, there are of course also the modern models that meet all the requirements of a stopwatch for sporty needs in terms of design. These pocket watches are robustly manufactured and can withstand one or the other blow without suffering.
