24 hours Pocket Watch

Good item

Item is ok, but big delays with shipping, almost 3 months!!!! In addition they charged me additional amount for transportation at delivery time. Not happy overall

muy bonito reloj, es retro, una buena opcion de compra

I am very impressed so far. I have only had the watch for a few days, and I have only owned one other mechanical watch before. However, this watch was much more than I expected. First of all, the build looks and feels very solid. It is all metal and glass, not plastic is visible. The face has a finely screened details, not the blurry low detail mess I see on some watches. The hands are finely detailed as well, with the serpentine style adding a lot to the antique feel of this watch. I am very impressed with the appearance. The watch is aged to look like it is antique. The brass has a worn look to it. The back is textured with dark aging in the crevices, giving the feel of a piece that has been in many hands for many years. The texture even appears worn in a few places as an antique piece of brass would after being used for many years. It looks like a used but very well maintained watch. It even looks like there is a bit of oxidation at the base of the stem, just as an antique piece would have. The chain feels antique as well. The links are made of a folded piece of brass preserving the antique appearance of the watch. It has a clasp on both ends so it can be detached from the watch if desired. EDIT: the lobster claw clasp on the chain has broken; the spring came out and not it does not stay closed. I am not concerned as I didn't really use the chain anyway. As would be expected for a watch from the period this one appears to be from, there is no illumination on the dial or hands. The styling is period appropriate without being gaudy. This is a mechanical watch. I don't know what the movement is, but it is beating at 21,600 beats per hour or 6 beats per second. The two sub dials on the front are functional as well (something I wasn't expecting given the price and from the description). The left dial is a 24 hour dial, making it clear from a glance if it is morning or evening. The right dial is another second hand (it has seconds on the center and seconds on the sub dial), though the two second hands are not synchronized. Power reserve is adequate. Twenty turns of the crown (which is about all it will accept) will give it 29 hours of run time, which is standard for most mechanical watches. It is automatically winding as well. Wearing it for a day gave me another 5 hours of power. While this is not enough to power the watch on its own, I was carrying the watch in my pants pocket (that little one I never used to use) and so it didn't get as much movement as a wristwatch would get. It would be enough to carry the watch over for a little while longer if I forget to wind it in the morning. My watch looses around 26 seconds per day as measured by my time tracking app. By far not chronometer grade, but very acceptable for my purposes especially given the price. Overall, I am very impressed with this watch. It is exactly what I was looking for, a watch to go with my portable sundial/compass and sextant, all in brass and all for a nautical theme. EDIT: So I just accidentally dropped my watch. It bounced off my knee, hit a wooden chair, bounced off my desk drawers and hit the wall landing on the carpet. Not a scratch, and the watch is still ticking. I am not saying you should regularly do what I did (my heart just about stopped while this was happening) but this watch can take some abuse.

This pocket watch is handwound, No need for batteries, keeps excellent time, barely hear it ticking. These types of watches last for years, the old one that I had was from the 1820's and it just gave out a few weeks ago, And was owned in the family since new. Excellent craftsmanship, and it looks like it was made in the 1800's, very classy, would definately reccomend it to anyone.👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙂🇨🇦 Update, I have owned this pocket watch for a while now and I have had zero issues with it so far, it works as good as the one that I replaced with this one, keep 'er wound every twenty four hours and you have one heck of a pocket watch, and it is a excellent value for this pocket watch.

Es ist eine schöne Taschenuhr, aber man muss sie alle 4 Stunden aufziehen sonst bleibt die Uhr stehen, 24 Stunden müsste sie schon laufen

Estou com o relógio há poucas semanas, até o momento o funcionamento está perfeito. O relógio é belíssimo, uma peça magnífica. Feito na China, espero que dure muito porque é belíssimo vê-lo em funcionamento.
