"The purchasing process on-line was easy and the watch came to me about 5 working days later, in good order. I'm extremely pleased with the watch. I have been using only pocket watches for over 25 years and this one suits me very well indeed. It is light, keeps good time and has the most easy-to-read face. I've always used hunters in the past but I've found the open case watch much more convenient to use. Thank you to Groom & Co. (I love the play on words with Cobb & Co!)"

Not sure which style?

Most pocket watches are one standard case size. The real decision is style — Full Hunter, Half Hunter, Skeleton or Open-face. Pick the one that suits how you'll wear it.

Full Hunter Hinged metal cover protects the dial. Classic railway-era silhouette. Half Hunter Hinged cover with a glass window — read the time without opening. Skeleton Open dial, visible movement. The mechanics are the feature. Open-face No cover, slim profile, dial always on show. Swiss-made quartz by the Classique brand.

The details.

An open-face design keeps things clean and readable — the traditional gentleman's pocket watch with nothing between you and the dial.
