How do I wind a pocket watch?

Most twentieth-century watches feature a button wind mechanism at the top crown, which you rotate gently clockwise until resistance is felt. Older eighteenth and nineteenth-century examples often require a separate key inserted into the back dust cover to tension the mainspring.

What is a pocket watch locket?

A pocket watch locket mimics the exact outer form and hinge construction of a genuine timepiece but contains a hinged compartment for photographs rather than a movement. These pieces offer the aesthetic appeal of gold cased pocket watches combined with personal sentimental storage.

How do I tell gold plate from solid gold?

Solid gold cases bear distinct hallmarks stamped inside the inner back cover denoting the metal purity, such as 18ct, 15ct, or 14k. Gold plated or gold filled items show wear through to the underlying brass base metal on high-friction edges and lack official precious metal assay stamps.

What is an albert chain?

An albert chain is a sturdy metal chain attached securely to a pocket watch, designed to thread through a waistcoat buttonhole. Named after Prince Albert, these chains often suspend decorative adornments like silver vestas or fob seals alongside the timepiece.
