A device called an escapement releases the watch's wheels to move forward a small amount with each swing of the balance wheel, moving the watch's hands forward at a constant rate. Its force is transmitted through a series of gears to power balance, a weighted wheel that oscillates back and forth at a constant rate.

And every now and again, a pocket watch is just the accessory you need to make an impression: a wedding, a party, a formal occasion, etc. Their popularity grew over the years, especially during the two World Wars, when having a pocket watch as a soldier was something common.Īlthough nowadays pocket watches are no longer so frequently used, they still have beautiful, timeless design qualities that cannot be replaced by wristwatches. Pocket watches were also owned by the rich families and were often passed on from father to son. Starting out as pieces of art, featuring beautiful enamel paintings, pocket watches were not so accurate at telling the time in their beginnings. The history of pocket watches is long and interesting. Home 1 › Custom Time Swiss Made Pocket Watch | Mechanical Watch Pendant Jewelry 2
