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!
