my pocket watch collection - wave 7

It’s been a while since I’ve taken a picture of my pocket watch collection. so let's get to it.

for more information on the previous 4 pocket watches, here it is -

—————————

Top row

no.20

Door - rose branches.

Color - pink gold.

Bought - ebay.com

Cost - $7.99

Builder - quartz

Year i got it - 2019

Power - battery

no.20 was a very hard pocket watch to find, there weren't many pocket watches in that color, but when i got it, i was jumping for joy. i thought her door was very abstract and the color made it stand out more.

---------------------------

no.21

Door - none, has a daisy at the back.

Color - black with white and gold.

Bought - antique shop in Florida.

Cost - given to me.

Builder - Grand Prix antimagnetic

Year i got it - 2019

Power - wind up

it's been a while since i got an actual pendant pocket watch since no.4, 8 and 9. but i was happy to get this one, especially with how vintage it look and for being the newest wind up watch. although i don't wear neck pocket watches anymore, i still think it's very stunning.

----------------------------

no.22

Door - none, has the name london.

Color - bronze gold.

Bought - antique shop in Florida.

Cost - given to me.

Builder - in Switzerland

Year i got it - 2019

Wind up - wind up

no.22 is very vintage looking and i was gratefully wen i got it. the way it was made reminds me of a barometer with how many hands and circles it's fitted in it. it's a watch i would definitely use if there's ever a steam punk festival. it's also a wind up watch, but a very quiet one, which is very interesting.

-----------------------------

no.23

Door - none. Has a circle at the back.

Color - bronze green

Bought - ebay.com

Cost - $5.99

Builder - quartz

Year i got it - 2019

Power - battery

no.23 was more of a quick grab, i thought it looked a lot like no.22 and i thought it would look great side by side. but i didn't expect it to be small, but it's ok. this watch is useful in case a friend want to wear it for a steampunk outfit.

----------------------------------

Bottom row

no.24

Door - none. has the name Marlboro on it

Color - silver

Bought - ebay.com

Cost - Christmas gift.

Builder - Illinois watch case co. Elgin Tivoli

Year i got it - 2019

Power - wind up

no.24 was a christmas gift, and i noticed it had the name Marlboro on it, marlboro was my uncle's favorite cigarette brand, and noticing it makes me want to hold it closer, pay him respect, every time i see that name on that watch, will always makes me think of him.

---------------------------------

no.25

Door - Statue of Liberty, has an eagle at the back.

Color - gold.

Bought - antique shop in jacksonville Florida.

Cost - $29.99

Builder - quartz

Year i got it - 2020.

Power - battery

no.25 was a pocket watch i got when i went back to florida, it became the chunkiest pocket watch of the bunch and i love that at the front, it has the statue of liberty and the back had the eagle, almost like a quarter. if anything, i would say that this one surely lighten up my day when i got it.

------------------------------------

no.26

Door - none, has a laurel wealth crown at the back.

Color - copper.

Bought - antique shop in Savannah Georgia.

Cost - $45.00

Builder - M.W.Co

Year i got it - 2020.

Power - wind up

no.26 is a the M.W.Co. (manhattan watch company) pocket watch, it's so far the oldest of the entire collection, being made from the 1880s, making it older than the Titanic. the day i got this, i managed to change someone's perspective of road trip and antique shops, this watch really is a rarity to me, and whenever i look at this watch, it reminds me that i made someone find joy in life. out of all the pocket watches in my collection, this is the one i wish to restore the most, let's hope i can someday.

------------------------------------

no.27

Door - none, has the constellations to represent the hours.

Color - gold.

Bought - antique shop in st. Augustine in florida.

Cost - $40.00

Builder - westclox.

Year i got it - 2020

Power - wind up

no.27 was a very unique one, as it has the zodiac as the representation of the hours. if im allowed to be honest, it reminds me of the magic mirror from snow white and the seven dwarf. which also has the zodiac symbols surrounding it. this is one i wish i could get a new glass so it would look in greater condition.

—————————

So there’s my collection, a total of 27 pocket watches so far.

What i like about these pocket watches, is that whenever i find one, i always find it with one of my friend and a family member, which makes me very proud because they spend time with me to find something i love collecting.
