Watches have come a long way since its first invention. With many other modern hi-tech products in the market today, the function of watches has become rather redundant. But still there are people interested in them, so much so that they are purchased for their aesthetic value rather than their functional value. The same can be said for antique watches, which are watches that were made more than half a decade ago or more. While an antique watch is not all that useful in keeping time, it does make a good gift, especially if the recipient has an eye for beauty. Collectors are often at the lookout for a good antique watch that combines the artistic appeal along with a nostalgic charm.
Vintage watches are considered a type of antique watches as they usually come from the 1960s time or even earlier. They often have certain charm to it, representing not only the company that made them but the owner that they’ve served for many years. The closest and easiest source of these vintage items is probably from an old relative who might own them and never discarded them. Alternatively, you can seek them out in the watch market; some are expensive, some aren’t. The Lucy Print Watch from Fossil has three size settings and a classic enamel inlay, which adds a touch of modernity to its vintage look. Its bangle is adjustable and it has an 11-year warranty.
Since these antique timepieces came from a less modern time, it would only be logical to think that most of them comprises of analog watches. After all, the digital style has not quite set in yet during the 50′s or earlier. Even though they might be outdated in terms of style, they still retain that essence from the particular time that they come from, making them beautiful in their own way. The Goldtone Vintage Style Watch and Bangle Bracelet Set from Vivani certainly has its own distinct charm. The set features an analog quartz watch that has 3-hand movements with Arabic numerals and a detailed goldtone bangle band.
You can find these antique gems from various jewelry shops or watch companies. One of the companies that sell them is L.A.M.B, a brand founded by singer and fashion designer Gwen Stefani. The watches here are not all true antiques, as in they are mostly watches that are newly made but with antique-like designs and vintage feel. The LBA0321711 model for example, features polished stainless steel blackened goldtone antique bezel with engraved Roman numerals. It is a modern watch combined with the old classic feel to it.
Another brand that is equally famous, or perhaps more famous, in the watch business would be Fossil. This is a company that primarily deals in clothing and accessories although they are better known for their watches and jewelry, both which carry several successful brands. Take a look at the Analog Brown Dial Watch carried by Fossil. There is a laid back style to this vintage-inspire watch (yes, this is another modern watch designed with vintage in mind). This casual timepiece would make a great addition to one’s collection, with its wood case set on a braided genuine leather strap. The best thing is it doesn’t really cost very much!
Even though some of the watches recommended here aren’t true antiques, they are still beautifully charming timepieces that is worth their value. And who knows, fifty years down the road, you can pass them down as real antiques to your grandkids!

Great, quality pocket watch at a good price.,
The first product I received happened to be defective. The watch’s cover was slightly off center, and a metal rod within the cover’s hinge was protruding out a good millimeter. The watch itself was functional, but I am not too keen on purchasing defective products, so I decided to send the watch back. However, due to a limited supply of this product, it is not available for direct exchange–only for refunds. To bypass this, I had to send the defective watch back for a refund, while purchasing the product once again.
The new pocket watch had just arrived in the mail today, and this time to product came in flawless. Everything looks in order and I am very impressed by the quality and craftsmanship of this pocket watch, and for only $40, too. The “skeleton” back is beautiful, and you can see all the gears inside of the watch. The time is set by pulling the crown up, and then twisting it to adjust the clock’s hands. To power the watch, simply turn the crown clockwise until it can go no more. A full twist lasts roughly 25 hours, so the crown must be turned once a day in order to operate.
Though there were some minor annoyances, I am overall very pleased with this product and recommend it to anybody looking for an affordable, attractive piece.
