Brass Pocket Watches

Brass sits between gold and something older-looking. The tone is warm but muted, it does not read as dressy the way a bright gold case does, and it takes decorative work well, which is why so many of the covers on this shelf are fretworked, pierced or see-through rather than plain. It is the finish that gets picked for steampunk and vintage styling, for a costume piece that also has to work, and for anyone who finds polished metal too loud.

What is in the collection

Most brass pieces are half hunter cases with a glazed window cut into the hinged lid, so the time reads with the case shut, and many of those covers are open enough to see the movement through. A few are full hunters with a solid lid and a couple are fully cut-away dials. Bronze-tone pieces live here too. The related pages are Half Hunter Pocket Watches and Skeleton Pocket Watches, and the whole range sits on Pocket Watches.

Movement and wear

Every brass watch in stock is hand-wound mechanical. Turn the crown once a day and stop when the resistance turns firm; there is no battery. The movement is covered by a 12-month warranty. Brass tones are finishes on the case of a new vintage-style watch, so a wipe with a dry, soft cloth is all the care they need, and they are best kept away from perfume and cleaning products. If you want the same shapes in a cooler colour, see Silver Pocket Watches.

Brass Pocket Watches: questions we get asked

What does a brass pocket watch look like next to a gold one?

Brass is warm but muted, where gold is brighter and dressier. Brass tends to be chosen for vintage and steampunk styling, and gold for weddings and formal occasions.

Are bronze pocket watches in this collection?

Yes, bronze-tone pieces sit on the same page rather than on a separate shelf. The tone is close enough that most people are choosing between the two on the design rather than the metal.

Are brass pocket watches mechanical?

Every brass piece in stock is hand-wound mechanical, so it takes a daily turn of the crown and has no battery. The movement carries a 12-month warranty.

How do I look after a brass finish?

Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth after wearing and keep it away from perfume, hairspray and cleaning products. The finish is on the case of a new vintage-style watch, so chemicals dull it faster than ordinary handling does.

Do you deliver brass pocket watches in New Zealand?

Yes. In-stock orders are usually dispatched from Brisbane within one to two business days, Monday to Friday, and standard shipping is free on New Zealand orders over $99.

About

Brass Pocket Watches carry a warm, worn-in tone that suits vintage and steampunk styling, and the bronze-tone pieces sit here as well. It is the most characterful finish in the range rather than the most formal.

Everything in stock is hand-wound mechanical, mostly half hunter cases with fretwork or see-through covers, plus a few full hunters and cut-away dials.
