The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Open-face pocket watches from the 1930s feature a front dial protected directly by glass without a hinged metal cover. Typically driven by precision Swiss lever movements, these timepieces reflect interwar design with clear Roman or Arabic numerals and subsidiary seconds dials.

Cases were commonly formed from sterling silver, nickel, or gold plate, housing mechanical metal movements. Dials were usually vitreous enamel fired onto copper plates to create a durable, non-fading white finish.

Authentic pieces carry Swiss manufacture marks on the dial or movement, hallmark stamps on the inside of the case back, and period-correct typography. Keyless stem-winding mechanisms and recessed sub-dials at six oclock are standard indicators.

A mechanical pocket watch can be carried in a waistcoat pocket attached via a silver Albert chain, or placed in the watch pocket of modern tailored trousers or denim for a subtle accent.

Keep the case clean using a soft microfibre cloth and avoid over-winding the spring mechanism. Mechanical movements require professional servicing by a horologist every three to five years to clean and lubricate internal gears.
