The keychain pocket watch was once a very common element of the male attire. Men could be seen flipping their watches out of their waist coat pockets to check what the time was. As tastes changed in favor of wrist watches, pocket watches gradually went the way of the horse and buggy and the waistcoat and were discarded as “out of fashion”. Today, while pocket watches may no longer be considered useful, they are highly revered by collectors who consider them valuable collectibles and are willing to pay very high prices to acquire them.
These days if someone owns a keychain pocket watch, or is desirous of owning one, they are considered to have great taste, and it is truly only those who appreciate the finer things in life that harbor a desire to own a pocket watch. Long believed to be prohibitively expensive, the truth is that many of these watches may be obtained for very low prices. In fact an American pocket watch that goes back to the 19th century can be yours for unbelievably low prices and the quality of the workmanship very easily matches what you can find on most modern watches today. Many antique dealers and high-price watch manufacturers also over several kinds of keychain pocket watch for sale, but one will have to pay a very high price to obtain one of these, making them attractive for true collectors only. Several reputed watch manufacturers are now making the move towards offering pocket watches for sale and it is very sad that very few of them are making the move towards watch models.
There were some renowned watch manufacturers who were very well known for the model of keychain pocket watch that they sold, and no other company was able to match the quality for a very long time. However, with the passage of time, wrist watches gradually became increasingly popular and began to phase out pocket watches. This was further expedited by the Great Depression which reduced people’s spending power and manufacturers gradually began to discontinue the models they made available for sale.
There were some companies which continued the tradition of bringing out a keychain pocket watch at regular intervals, but at a much smaller scale than before. These have now become highly revered collectibles and many discerning collectors would be more than willing to pay through the nose to acquire these watches.
