Sunday, November 14, 2010 Rapport of London Chrome Hunting Case Pocket Watch with Skeletonized Movement Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall a nice watch however is it worth the high price tag?

The pocket watch is a bit bigger than normal. Quality is nice, it has a nice weight to it, and it fits comfortably in the pocket.

Pros:
1 Larger than average size
2 Face of the watch is very nice (it was a factor in my purchase)
3 Keeps accurate time (sounds strange, but my last pocket watch did not)
4 No battery to be replaced. You will need to wind it up each day

Cons:
1 The watch hands are sometimes hard to see. The hands on the watch are very thin, and placed against the see through background (silver in color) the watch hands tough to see in certain lite.
2 since it is a wind up watch you can hear the ticking of the watch. I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing however I can hear it ticking away during the night.

The watch opens up on both sides of the pocket watch. The hinges are located on the 9 o'clock side. You can also see the inside of the watch (kinda cool).

I don't have any real concerns, however I wonder if it warrants the price. With this said...I am keeping it and hope to enjoy it for years!
