About

When we glance at our wrists to find out the time, we don't even think about the effort and ingenuity that has made it a possibility. From the earliest beginnings with stone circles and sundials, through water dripping and lowering the level in a marked off bowl, to graduated candles that (hopefully!) burned evenly and finally pendulum-driven trickery. And then came the drive from the shipping navigators to be able to accurately tell the time at sea, pendulums being no good in a pitching ship! The huge prize money put up for the first mechanism to solve this drove the invention of the spring-driven clockwork mechanisms still used even in today's world of quartz crystals and electrickery!

Blue Willow Pocket Watch


Ad: Blue Willow Pocket Watch

In 1898 an English gentleman sent Christmas and New Year's greeting to family friends and acquaintances with a small folded card. The front was graced with a classic blue willow image and his gold engraved monogram. The inside conveyed his friendly message and the date. For our purposes the monogram has been removed and we have a charming oriental drawing in classic blue. It's a wonderful design for home decor apparel correspondence and personal accessories. myPocketWatch
