VERY IMPRESSIVE, BEAUTIFUL AND ACCURATE
I'm a collector of mechanical watches. Some are over 100 years old, and several newer ones that are inexpensive, but unique in their design. Most of the newer ones that are not self-winding have identical Chinese movements, which are somewhat lacking in accuracy and durability. That's not the case with this watch.The clockworks are surrounded by a Teflon spacer. and there are no visible manufacturer information on the clockworks. Nonetheless, nothing about this watch looks or feels cheap. the stem feels solid when winding, and smooth when setting, the watch has some weight to it due to the thick metal casing, and the crystal is made of real glass. After several weeks of constant use it hasn't lost or gained a single minute, which is rare for any but the the most expensive mechanical watches. It is advertised as being solid copper, but it appears to be brass; no complaints here.The chain clasp doesn't clip onto a belt loop, but rather hooks onto the chain itself, much like the pocket watch chains of bygone eras. If I have any premature failure of any kind then I will post an update, but as it stands now I'd be impressed with this watch it If I had paid 3 times for it what I did.

If you enjoy a good watch, purchase this one
I've not had this watch for too long yet, probably about two weeks. But I have worn it constantly, every day, since it arrived. First, the watch is accurate, gaining approximately 30 seconds per day, about standard for a mechanical pocket watch. Second, case quality: The case is surprisingly substantial, and it is finished to give it a worn, antique appearance. The crystal is not the cheap, plastic type so common on lower-priced watches, it is a good, thick glass, which does tend to scratch easily, but if the watch is placed in a pocket facing the body and not outward, that should protect it from any scratching. Third, the watch feels amazingly like a vintage pocket watch. It has a real weight to it, similar to the old American Hamiltons or the Elgins. It feels good in the hand. Fourth, there are two second hands on the watch. What surprised me is they are perfectly synced to each other. There is a 24-hour hand on it as well, but I cannot attest to its accuracy, because my aging eyes do not allow me to see it, but there are instructions included with the watch that tell you how to set it. I just didn't bother. Overall, my feeling is that $35 is a ridiculously great price for this watch. I can offer some advice, however: In reading other reviews on this watch, there were some complaints about it I would like to address, having grown up with mechanical watches and conducted minor repairs on them. A mechanical watch is probably the greatest engineering feat in history, and because of that, any mechanical pocket watch is a very delicate and precision machine. If you do not handle it carelessly and jumble it around, the hands should not fall off of it. If you wind it slowly, and gently, it should not overwind. Winding a watch is a skill that most today don't know very well. With this watch, as you wind it, it will gently spring back after each wind. Feel for that. It increases the more you wind it. If you gently wind it, you will feel when it is completely wound, because it won't wind any further. When you first wind the watch, count the number of winds you do until it does not wind anymore. On mine, it is 50 winds. So, every morning when I wind it, I stop at 49 and I do not worry that I've overwound it. Over-winding a watch will break the mainspring. If you take care of this watch and respect it as the fine, precise instrument it is, it will last you years. Buy the watch.

Very nice pocket watch
This is a very nice pocket watch. I wanted an everyday “windup” pocket watch. This one fills the bill. It appears good quality. The Roman numerals are easy to read and add a touch of class to the watch. The additional two dials are operational but very small. The only reason for a 4 instead of 5 is the combination of the small dials are hard to read the numbers, and the watch gains about 5 minutes over 3-4 days. Not a big deal as I reset the time when I rewind it each day.(I have lots of pocket watches that are a lot more accurate and some cheaper). This is still a great everyday pocket watch, and it looks stylish enough for a great gift. I would gladly buy it again.

お気に入り
思っていた以上に速く商品が到着してビックリ。想像したよりアンティーク感が強くとても良いし 、重量感もそれなりあって一発でお気に入りに仲間入り。後は耐用年数がどれくらいなのか?気にならないけど本体秒針と中の小さな秒針が若干ズレているところ。ひとつ残念な所はチェーンにTバーが付いてなかった。惜しい。

Made in China
The watch on the front image says "Made in Switzerland" however the factory seal packaging said "made in China" additionally the chain is thin and flimsy, it can easily be snapped off. For the price; there are other similar watches for half the price with just as good of a build.

重量感
レトロなデザインで、やや分厚く重量感のあるデザイン。素材が銅ゆえ使い込むと味が出る。リューズは巻かないとすぐに止まってしまうので気をつけるべきだが、機能性よりも、時計好きの方には愛着が持てる。いつも持ち歩いている。一年後の感想。あくまでファッション時計と考えるべきで、正確さには問題あり。暑い日には針が遅れる。しかしそれでも愛着が湧くのが不思議。
