great pocket watch. hands could be longer but you get used to it.
This watch is IMPRESSIVE!! also purchased the small compass to use as my fob.. Everyone was IMPRESSED!! I didn't use the included "strap" but opted for a gold chain that matched the gold cuff links better. GREAT VALUE!

I WAS RATHER DISAPPOINTED IN THIS WATCH. THE HANDS JUST SEEM TO DISAPPEAR IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE MECHANICAL SKELETON.

The only thing I didn't like about this was the leather thing, which was too stiff and slippery, so the knot can untie if any force is put on it. The watch itself is super. It keeps good time, so far, and fits nicely in the pocket of the vest I also got. As has been mentioned, it is actual glass and metal, so don't drop it too high off the ground (or at all would also be good).

It broke. I'm trying not to let it affect the rating since it could have been operator error.

This is an outstanding watch for the price. It comes in a velvet pouch and is very elegant. It is not excessively ornate as many similar items are, so it manages to look modern AND Edwardian. So far it keeps good time too. I've looked for a long time for a pocket watch and I'm very impressed with this one. My order arrived very fast too. Great service.
Wonderful, better than expected.

A great mechanical pocket watch for the money. Pleased with the look, construction, and above all that it keeps accurate time. I like it a lot!
This watch is remarkably well built! Actual brass, glass, and bronze with a leather strap makes it something that I will be able to give to my future generations as an heirloom- something that I was not anticipating being able to do prior to receiving it! for the price, I was anticipating a mechanical watch, but with plastic parts and need to wind it every few hours. This was a fantastic surprise. Immediately purchased one for my father, who is a clock afficianato.

For the price, I find this watch exceptional. At first you might hesitate due to the lower price if this would be worth it. It is, incredibly so.
Solid construction, real glass, etc. A quality piece, at least in my opinion.
The only, ONLY reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the leather strap that accompanies is not similiar to the one shown. The one shown seems to be a sturdy strap but the one that came with my watch was a very light weight, almost suede type strap that seemed fairly fragile, I quickly replaced it with another watch chain.
But, other than that, it is an amazing piece. You do have to wind it every other day or so, but I love that about it. I have acquired many compliments on the piece as well.

I have had my new mechanical pocket watch for three weeks now and I could not be happier. It keeps perfect time, the price could not be beat ( I shopped around before buying) and delivery time was good as well. I have bought several items from Historical Emporium and have never been disappointed. I recommend them highly and will be making future purchases.

Excellent product with an old time feel. Nice to actually wind a watch again. Keeps excellent time. Great value and price.
Love seeing the works through the back and front windows. I wish the hands had a dot of white to make them easier to see against the backdrop of the works. Seems to keep time accurately enough.

This is the real deal--a classy, wind up, mechanical pocket watch, not a simple toy or prop. Glass on both sides allows you to view the inner workings, which I love to see. This is a well-made watch that is beautiful to hold and use. Everyone I show it to is impressed! I'm very glad I bought this time piece!
