What is a Swiss watch?

A Swiss watch is a timepiece manufactured within Switzerland, adhering to traditional horological standards established over centuries of craftsmanship. These objects encompass both pocket and wrist formats. They reflect diverse eras ranging from Victorian innovations to mid-century military and civilian designs.

How do I wear a pocket watch?

Pocket watches attach via a chain secured to a waistcoat, jacket buttonhole or belt loop, and sit neatly within the pocket. The hinged cover opens to reveal the dial. Silver and gold hunter cases provide sturdy housing for daily carriage.

How do I wind a vintage watch?

Mechanical vintage watches require manual winding via the crown until resistance is felt, powering the internal spring mechanism. Automatic versions wind through the natural movement of the wrist. Careful handling preserves the delicate internal components.

What is a military watch?

A military watch is a timepiece issued to armed forces personnel, built for legibility, durability and precise timing during service. Examples include Second World War pieces and army trade pattern designs. These utilitarian models often feature robust steel cases and clear dials.
