Pocket Watches are watches that are carried in one’s pocket. They were common in earlier centuries, such as the 16th and 17th century, but have since been replaced by wrist watches which are worn on the wrist. All the same, Pocket Watches can still be found today andare considered a classic and sophisticated item to own. As such, they make perfect gifts, for example for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, as well as for groomsmen gifts. They can also make great corporate gifts, for example in recognition of the contribution of a long-time employee upon his retirement. Pocket Watches come in two main types: open-face watches and hunter-case watches. Open-face watches do not have any cover, metal or otherwise, to cover the watch’s face or watch-dial. Hunter-case watches on the other hand have a spring-hinged metal lid or cover over the face which serves to protect it from scratches, dust or any other damage. It is also possible to have a watch that has a lid, but at the centre of the lid is a glass panel that enables one to see the hands and thus tell the time without having to open the cover. It is further possible to get Pocket Watches engraved with the name of the recipient of the watch, or with a special message. This engraving helps to personalize the watch, and is much appreciated by the recipients who are quite moved by this personal touch. That is why the watches make such great gifts to those we love and admire, as they help to express these sentiments in a personalized and enduring manner. Pocket Watches make great and thoughtful gifts for people of all ages Pocket Watches can be purchased at both physical and online watch shops. The watches come in a variety of designs and shapes, ranging from the classic to the cute and fun. They are suitable for both men and women as well as children. The ones for children are usually in the shape of animals or beloved cartoon characters. The prices of these watches also vary, with the classic timepieces generally being more expensive than the cute or fun types. All the same, the prices are still quite reasonable and well within the reach of most. One can request the store to do an engraving on the watch if one so wishes, usually by providing the message to be engraved. This is usually at an extra cost, but helps to personalize the watch and make it that much more appreciated by the recipient.
