Simple yet effective

This watch was every thing I expected and more. I'm lucky enough to have my Great, Great Grandfather's pocket watch, but am very selective where I wear it. This watch, with the exception of the exterior finish (a brighter gold color) is very close to an exact match to his. The ONLY draw back, and it's due to the way I wear it, is the chain is a little short. But that's on me. I don't seem to carry a pocket watch in the traditional manner. If you're looking for a period correct time piece worthy of daily carry, this is your watch. Shipping was faster than expected. I will be ordering more in the future.

The mechanical pocket watch keeps VERY good timing and is handy for casual use as well as for formal occasions.

I purchased the watch as a Christmas gift for my son. I thought the quality was good, the price excellent and the service response was good also. I will shop at the Historical Emporium again in the future.

Excellent quality. Keeps accurate time. Only complaint, which is minor, is distinguishing the front from the back. Needs some kind of mark on front of watch.

Great replica watch of high quality.

Much more than I hoped for and looks like I paid a lot more for it. Substantial piece and the packaging was exceptional.

This pocket watch is beautiful and stylish, and the weight and size is just right. It also keeps perfect time - - - as long as you remember to wind it daily!

After much debate on what to wear for Comic Con this year (I vacillated between investing in a high-end Star Wars costume, the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland, etc), I at last decided to go as a Victorian Doctor and purchased an ENTIRE outfit along with many accessories, all at the VERY last minute, from Historical Emporium. Everything I ordered was in stock (Woot!) and I upgraded the shipping to Next Day Air based on my indecisiveness and my waiting to order 3 days before Comic Con. I placed my order on Sunday night. My order arrived Tuesday! EVERYTHING I ordered was perfectly amazing and of high quality! I was (am!) blown away! AND, to top it all off, Historical Emporium refunded my Next Day Air Shipping ($63!) because I live in Southern California, which is within their 1 day ground shipping zone already. What? Who does that? Holy moly - what a great company, what outstanding service and what amazing products! I'd write more but Comic Con starts in 24 hours and I've got to get ready!

Great product. fast service too.

I purchased the pocket watch for my partner for Christmas. When it arrived I was entranced at how beautiful it was - I had been a little nervous buying something like this off the internet, so was very happy to see how nicely presented it was and just how beautiful the watch was to look at and hold. My partner loves it - and as an engineer he especially liked the fact that he could see the moving parts of the watch.

I was looking for a good mechanical pocket watch and this one is very attractive, feels good in the hand, opens and closes very well and keeps good time. I look forward to passing it on to some lucky member of the family.

Bought this a year ago for my husband, who already owned and used several different mechanical pocket watches. The main problem with the other watches is that pocket lint would gradually work its way into the case, causing the gears to seize up and the watch to stop working until it was opened and carefully cleaned. The case on this watch seems to be quite secure & tight-fitting; despite being in daily use for a year, there have been no problems with the watch at all. I've now ordered a second watch for him, in chrome finish. Highly recommended!

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves it. He likes watching the little internal gears, etc work.

Great prop that actually works! No need to mess with a battery, looks amazing, and fully functional. My students loved it.

This is a really nice watch for the price!! I have to say it is very impressive

This is a beautiful watch at a great price

A truly beautiful watch. Love everything about it!

I wore this as part of a Victorian formal outfit. It's a lovely watch that many people liked; it really brought the look together.

Very pleased with this watch. I have wanted one for a very long time, and this the first one I have found that matched what I saw in my mind's eye. Outstanding quality in my opinion. Need to wind it daily, but I am enjoying that ritual. It is more accurate than I expected, it loses about a minute a week. I think it is simply AWESOME!

Handsome watch. Keeping accurate time from very first wind.

This watch is great! It keeps good time (provided you wind it daily) and it Looks Great! I have received many compliments about the watch, and would not hesitate to recommend this watch to others.

The pictures of the watch on the Historical Emporium website were beautiful, but even they did not prepare me for the splendor of the actual article. It is a solid, sturdy piece of jewelry. but with the elegance of a genuine work of art. The Roman numerals are clear, sharp, and easy to read, but you don't need to open the watch to learn the time: you can see the position of the hands through the opening of the case. A matching opening in the dial lets you watch the escapement tick back and forth (I find this both soothing and fascinating). The price is low considering the quality of the watch, and even lower when you consider the pleasure and pride of owning something so lovely.

This is a beautiful pocket watch. It arrived in a timely manner wonderfully package.

I love the look of this watch, and it's easy to get mesmerized watching the works "tick". At this price, I'm SURE it's not really gold (probably "gold tone"), but it's close enough for me. The hands are a very fine and small, so it's a little hard to read in dim light, but then how many times will I be doing THAT? Keeps good time, and completes my "Old West" look nicely. As always, delivery was prompt. Thank you Gentleman's Emporium--I'll be back.

My husband loved the watch. It was out to Australia without any hitches or delays. Excellent service

This watch is just beautiful. A perfect timeless keepsake. My son will treasure it forever!

I bought this watch for my Sister as a 50th birthday gift. I had it delivered to her and I have not seen the watch but she loved it.

I purchased this for my husband as a birthday gift. It is absolutely beautiful and my husband loves it. I could not be happier with this purchase and definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a beautiful time piece.

This watch is very impressive and keeps accurate time when properly wound. I saw a VERY similar watch at a local store, made by the same company and the price they quoted me was $300.00. Glad I found it here first! Thanks, Historical Emporium!

This is a very nice pocket watch and at a great price. Great style and design. It has a good weight too. Looks wonderful with the gold chain draped across the vest.

Love this pocket whach, have been looking at this whach for sometime, would recommend this product to anyone

This watch is a great buy. The finish & pattern on the outside is a bit over the top, but the watch works well, looks good, and the price was unbeatable. I also got it just a couple of days after purchase; The speed was impressive. All in all, a solid purchase.

The watch is exactly as advertised and often causes comments, all good of course. It's handsome, nostalgic and, so far, keeps good time. The window into the works is especially charming. Great for steampunk parties, Mardi Gras or shopping Trader Joe's!

Nice watch, good weight, and pretty. Unfortunately, it did not work. I wound it and it would work for a few minutes . . . then stop. This is how it went for a few days so I immediately returned. I was VERY pleased when I received an email from customer service letting me know that my return was received. I was even more pleased when I received a personal email from customer service telling me that they read the note I left regarding why I returned the watch, were very sorry for the inconvenience, and were going to comp my return shipping fees. The price of the watch plus what I paid to return it appeared back in my account a lot quicker than I expected. Customer service also invited me to contact them in the future if I had a similar problem with a product so that they could help me avoid any out of pocket expenses. Very nice. I must say that I also ordered three vests and a frock coat, all of which are great and fit wonderfully. I really like this store.
