Basically, there are several groups of people who can be proud of the possession of a pocket watch nowadays. The first group, logically, is the one who has already been renowned and associated with the possession of those watches: the aristocracy and the so called high life. They usually have watches whose price is hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nowadays, it should be made clear, not all of the pocket watches are so expensive, which is the main reason why those watches are no longer associated with any standard of living or financial status. In other words, having a watch in your pocket will not make anyone think a person is rich or even wealthy. There are just thousands of models of watches that are perfectly affordable to the average customer, especially in the online shops. And talking about online shopping and the great variety of pocket watches on the market, it would probably be useful to talk about some of the most important technical characteristics and specifications the customer needs to pay attention to. Unsurprisingly, one of the most important specifications that could not possibly be ignored is the material the watch is made out of. It is an interesting fact that material determines about 85% of the price of the watch. So there should be no wonder why a watch made out of gold is ten times more expensive than an ordinary steel pocket watch and much cheaper than a platinum watch for example. Anyway, stuff like gold and platinum watches are more like a dream for the average customer since their price can reach millions of dollars. What is a bit more realistic is the silver and gilt watches. Basically, both of them are a good choice as long as it is not steel. It should not be forgotten that steel rusts, and nobody can change that. Well, some alloys of steel do not really rust, but an inexperience customer could never know if a particular steel alloy rusts or not. That’s the reason why it is always good to stick to gilt and silver watches. As people say, betting on the safe side is never wrong! And last but not at least, the appearance of the pocket watch just cannot remain unmentioned. After all, the main purpose of those watches nowadays is to serve as an accessory. That is why you need to make sure that you love the way your watch looks like, and also it suits your clothes, overall style and even your character.
