The First Pocket Watch
This "Pomander Watch" is from the year 1505 and was made by Peter Henlein, the inventor of the pocket watch. It is beleived to be the First Pocket Watch ever made.
Found by a watchmaker's apprentice while on a school trip to London in 1987. He bought it in a mixed box of old metal and watch parts at a flea market. In this box he found this small, rusty and defective watch, to which he did not pay a lot of attention to. Not until 2001, did he act on the idea to get this little watch going again.
Created by Peter Henlein in 1505, this small pomander watch, is of the rarest type of watches. It is also the oldest watch ever found. During extensive investigations, secret signatures of Peter Henlein were found.
The findings on hand even allow the conclusion that this
watch was his first portable watch, which he invented
and made during his asylum from 1504 to 1508
in the Franciscan monastery. It is by far the
oldest pocket watch ever. Read up on this great find at the
website for Peter Henlein.
Now let's go see some of the best pocket watches on the market....

No. 6 Pocket Watch Necklace
Click Image To See
A necklace pocket watch? Sure, it can be a unisex item, but I think this little beauty is more of a ladies pocket watch, than a mans. It is just a we bit larger than a half dollar and it comes on a 40' chain.The picture you see here does not do it justice. It is a lot shinier and the etched in design is beautifully detailed. Setting the time is a bit tricky to figure out. You must open the front case and move the hands to set this little pocket watch. This task is very easy to do now that you know hoe.

Skeleton Pocket Watches
I just love a good skeleton pocket watch. To see the inner workings of a time piece amazes me. The little gears, springs, and jewels all working together in some magical way to show me what time it is can just transfix me like a child.
If you want more than just a plain pocket watch, a piece you can truly appreciate, you may be better suited with a skeleton pocket watch.

- I saw a Peter Henlein pocket watch on Cajun Pawn Stars last night. The owner pawned it for $4,500, so of course the value of it was far greater than tat.
