Real people, real reviews
“Eric is an outstanding watchmaker in the truest sense of the word. His horological knowledge is amazing, and he is able to completely restore your watch to “original” condition. I would trust my finest watch to his knowledge and craftsmanship.” - Chuck H, Idaho
Isn't it time?
Imagine owning a mechanical work of art from an earlier century to tell the time, filled with tiny gears and moving parts, ticking in your pocket like a heartbeat. Many of the watches that we offer date to the 1800s and will be running long after your smartphone gets buried in a landfill.
Every vintage pocket watch featured in our Store has been completely restored back to original specs, meaning that all of its components are factory correct. Most of them are original combinations, still intact from the day that their very first owners purchased them.
The accessories
People dropped their watches all the time (and still do), so tether your valuable heirlooms and daily carry pieces with one of our braided leather straps or paracord lanyards to avoid high repair bills.
We also offer many different kinds of storage chests, glass domes, and display stands for your pocket watches when you're not carrying them and want to show them off or store them safely.
