it really nice,

but is it there is still ppl using it?
i mean it kinda hard to use because to see a time there is 2 action need to be do,
1) goes to pocket grab it,
2) open the case then see the time,

compare with wrist watch just see it all the time.

i think it more for collection... but it is very a waste if it just put inside somewhere but not to wear and use.. it really beautiful..

Well. You are right. Recently, I have personally used to use them. Old pocket watches can easily destroy and that is why I prefer to look at them.

Currently, all my watches are in the showcase on the wall.




Sorry for my english

Wonderful collection of pocket watches, spam01.
I feel "poisoned" by pocket watches already. 
Thank you for sharing.

No one. 6 or 7 cases made only gold-plated
