Questions, answered

Does it need a battery?

No. It has a mechanical movement that you wind by turning the crown. There's no battery to replace.

How often do I wind it?

Make it a morning habit: turn the crown forward until it feels firm, then set the time. If it ever stops, it has simply run down. Wind it and it starts again.

Is it accurate?

It's a mechanical watch, so expect it to drift a little more than a battery watch. Check and reset it now and then; that's part of the ritual.

How big is it?

It's a classic palm-size pocket watch that slips into a waistcoat or jeans pocket. It weighs about 89 g with its packaging.

Is it waterproof?

No. Keep it dry and out of the rain, and don't wear it in the shower or pool.

Does it come in a gift box?

There's no gift box: it arrives with the chain attached, ready for your own wrapping. If it isn't right, you can send it back under our returns policy.
