This is my second pocket watch. I love this one as well, especially the cut away design that expose the inner workings and craftmanship of this piece. Yes that right, just pressed the button again and the back flips open exposing the jewels, gears, etc. at the rear of this watch. Nice touch with a suit and cigar, (not advocating smoking.) As I said in another review, I will buy more pocket watches. I guess I like being different sometimes.

My husband really enjoys watches, and several times over the last year or so I have noticed him looking at pocket watches, so I decided to get him one for Christmas. Not knowing how often he would use it, or exactly what he would want, I determined that a fairly modest budget was the way to go. After researching quite a bit, I decided to go with a Charles Hubert watch. The watch is beautiful. This particular watch has a clean, smooth surface, which any jeweler should be able to engrave. The jeweled movement is easily noted through either viewing window. The quality seems to be outstanding, particularly for the price. Love, love, love this watch!

Nifty little watch, not that heavy and has a nice feel to it. A decent amount of winding will get you nearly 15-18 hours worth of ticking before the spring conks out so winding it at least twice a day is pretty much recommended. I also got the silver chain with the watch since the one that it came with was short by my standards (36cm/14" | Extra chain had about the same length). As to the accuracy of the watch, it kept time pretty much "on time".

Overall, a recommended watch for first time pocket watch owners.

I've had this watch for a bit less than two weeks. It is a beautiful piece and works very well. Winding it up is very easy, and one does not need to worry about changing the battery. Also, the transparent works are fascinating to see. It is interesting to see how exactly the watch works.
