The Royal Observatory, Greenwich open face gold-plated skeleton pocket watch will make a classically elegant contribution to your person, with the internal mechanism on full show.

This pocket watch is one of our timepieces from Royal Observatory Greenwich, the home of Greenwich Mean Time.

The pocket watch features an easy-to-read white dial with Roman numerals and Royal Observatory Greenwich lettering on a skeleton dial. 

What is a skeleton dial?

A skeleton dial allows for the operation and mechanics of the watch to be viewed through the watch's face.

How to set the time of your pocket watch

Gently pull the watch crown fully out and turn it to move the watch hands to set the time. Then push the crown down into position.

Winding a mechanical pocket watch

To maintain the accurate running of your watch, we recommended that it be wound a little every day, turning the crown smoothly in a clockwise direction. Stop when resistance is felt as over-winding or forceful winding can damage the movement. Reset the time each day.
