The wristwatch is the usual pick, but a pocket watch is a versatile type of men’s watch that works well for different types of wardrobes and occasions. Apart from being both decorative and highly functional – with a large, clear watch face – the pocket watch can help to complete your look very effectively.
Pocket watches are known for their blend of beauty and functionality. They are also the original personal timepieces, first developed in the year 1542 long before wristwatches. For the first pocket watch allowed a gentleman to carry a timepiece around with him and check the current time with ease. But pocket watches were always regarded as objects of beauty and elegance. Frequently personalized with lettering as well as intricate design, the metal cases are often engraved with precision and superior craftsmanship.
These timeless men’s watches are usually worn on buttonhole or belt-clip chains that mean the watch can move about freely inside the pocket – either the trouser pocket or the jacket or waistcoat pocket – and can be easily pulled out when required.
