Stainless Steel Silver Travel Pocket Watch with 12" Chain*
This brushed stainless steel finished Pocket Watch includes a matching 12" chain attached to the 1.75" diameter watch. Push the button on the top of the watch to see the lid open, reveal the black numerals, and sweep second hand on the quartz-powered watch face. The lid itself is the canvas. It can be engraved with your name or special word, so the first thing he meets, every time, before he ever reads the hour, is the reason it was given.
Be taken back in time with our Personalized Silver Pocket Watch. This gorgeous timepiece of yesteryear comes with a finely crafted quartz clock held securely in a distinguished brushed silver case that hangs from a sturdy 12" chain and can be removed for ease of use. Personalize this watch to give it the added allure of being handcrafted for that special someone.
Every man over the age of fifty will remember having had a pocket watch at one time or another. Most men of that age got theirs handed down from generation to generation. Bring that special man up to date by giving him a brand new one designed just for him. Take him back to the days of men's clubs and parlors. If you want to show your father or grandfather just how much they mean, this timepiece is the right way to do it. Our Personalized Silver Pocket Watch is reminiscent of days gone by, and it has the weight in the hand that a screen never will.
Our Personalized Silver Pocket Watch is a wonderful gift for the newest little man in the family too. Start a family tradition by having one engraved with the new arrivals initials and birth date. Let him carry it with him through adulthood and pass it on to his own son. This timepiece is more than a watch it is an heirloom waiting to be treasured. Groomsmen, best men and retiring colleagues feel the same thing when the lid lifts and their own name is sitting there.

Which one should I choose
A watch is an easy idea and a hard choice, because the three obvious versions of it do completely different jobs.
| Stainless Steel Silver Travel Pocket Watch with 12" Chain | Choose it when the gift is meant to be an heirloom: a brushed steel lid engraved with a name or date, a quartz face inside, and a 12" chain that comes off when he wants it to. |
|---|---|
| A wristwatch | Choose it when he needs to read the time without reaching, and when the engraving would sit hidden on a caseback nobody sees. |
| A pocket watch left plain | Choose it if the watch is for you rather than for giving, since with no engraving on the lid it stays an accessory instead of becoming a keepsake. |
If it is being handed over as a gift rather than bought for yourself, the engraved lid is the whole point of choosing a pocket watch.
