The Antique Pocket Watch
By David Evermon
When I was younger I have thought of the real value of watches, even thought for a long time I had a clear preference toward new advances watches, out of the simple reason that what is new is simply better, I have come to learn to appreciate the and sometime just old watches, watches are something that fascinates me today and I would not miss an opportunity to explore any watch that is more than 60 years old.
As many others I started having interest in watches through a close relative of mine, looking at his collection and the stories he told about each single watch in his collection it gave me a sense of not only collecting but exploring and learning about societies and history, today I am even more impressed by watch collecting because u have come to learn how watches represent our journey into time and how keeping time is something that is more than just looking at a watch but being connected to the universe and maybe even beyond.
In general we are all burning through time, and I have no doubt that ancient humans did not have a clear understanding of life, because they could not keep time, and if you notice that those civilizations that lived before the invention of the watch had their scientists working hard on keeping the time, the longest day of the year or the shortest, a ray of sun that enters a small hole in a ceiling and strange stone structures that are used one day a year.
When discussing watch collecting you can not help but mention the pocket watch, this elegant way of carrying a watch is almost extinct, but in the past this was the way people (mostly man) carried their watches around, flashing it to everyone in the street. The pocket watch
has become a status symbol almost immediately and is in fact the first personal watch that has been manufactured.
Collecting antiques required a lot of knowledge and experience, much more than that is needed for collecting pocket watches, a fascinating hobby and an extremely interesting thing to do, you will be amazed to learn how much one needs to know in order to get a unique pocket watch, in the process of purchasing a pocket watch you may have to read and learn about people who owned it and carried it, even travel around the world for clues or people that have come in touch with the watch itself. Most serious collectors need to make sure that once they found the pocket watch that they got the right one, today too many people take advantage of this collectors passion and create worthless replicas to try and tempt some novice collector to put his money on.
If you will be lucky and find the pocket watch you were looking for you will have something you can proudly show to your grandchildren, and since you have already done the research and know everything there is to know about the pocket watch, tell them its story, in many cases it has now become, in a way, your story.
