I just wanted to let you all know that I have ordered a pocket watch from theknot back in November. At first I thought it was a bit small, the hour hand was a bit hard to see, and I wasn't crazy about the engraving, but I have realized that it's actually really beautiful! It's a show piece, and most likely will only be used for very special occasions so it's worth it. We were planning on getting atleast five of them for my FH, the groomsmen, and my son who is our ring bearer. I think that's still the plan.
I wanted to show you guys the actual pocket watch that I ordered so I used the collage making tool to show you some up close shots of it. You will see the engraving on the front, the backside with the clear window so you can see the gears on the inside, an open shot, and a comparison of the size of the item compared to a my girly sized hand. Enjoy.
