Heritage Dual-Side Pocket Watch from Personally Presented
I have spoken before about Ash’s love of timepieces, he has quite a collection of pocket watches going now and while he doesn’t actually use them, they are definitely well loved. When Personally Presented got in touch with me to see if I would like to review a watch from their website, I knew it had to be another pocket watch to add to Ash’s collection.
Heritage Dual-Side Pocket Watch from Personally Presented
After spending some time looking around the website, Ash decided to go for the Heritage Dual-Side Pocket Watch, which can be personalised to both the front and back, one side with a message and the other with the recipient’s initials.
For one side he went with: Time Tells No Lies – a quote from one of his favourite animes, Bleach. While the other side, of course, holds his initials.
How is the Pocket Watch Used?
This particular pocket watch is one which needs to be wound up by hand, this is done by turning the wheel to the top of the watch, just underneath the clasp. To set the time you pull up the same wheel and turn clockwise until you have the correct time set.
The numbers around the face of the watch are of course Roman Numerals, with a second, minute and hour hand present to help with telling the time.
What did Ash think of the Pocket Watch?
I am going, to be honest here as always, we expected the watch to come beautiful engraved as per the pictures on the website, meaning the engraving and watch itself matched in colour. However, as you can see from our pictures the wording has been done in a strange orange colour. Which has left us both scratching our heads a little and sadly for us both seems to detract from the look.
The watch itself can be opened from both the front and the back, with the face offering an open view into some of the innermost workings of the pocket watch. Which is a really interesting and unique feature I have to say. This also allows you to stand the watch upright if you fancied having it open display and open for everyone to see.
Final Thoughts
The pocket watch itself is absolutely beautiful, the fact you can see in the inner workings is great, it really is just a shame about the coloured lettering they decided to go for, though I am sure for some people this will really work.

They really do have some lovely unique products.
The pocket watch looks so classy and vintage. Nice to see them back. Definitely adds a touch of sophistication as an accessory.
I definitely think they are something that should never go out of fashion.
Wow. It looks so beautiful. I would love to have a watch like this.
I hope you manage to get something similar for yourself sometime.
I love a good pocket watch and this one is really pretty, I love how you can see the mechanisms inside x
It is beautiful isn’t it – there is something about seeing the insides.
I think pocket watches are so beautiful! This one’s stunning and it’s a nice gift to family as well. It’s something they can keep in their lives for a long time!
Most definitely it can always become something to be passed on.
This looks like such a beautiful gift! It would also be a great heirloom to pass down int he family. Great post!
I think it would be the perfect item to become an heirloom in years to come.
I love pocket watches. These are so beautiful. On our wedding day I gave my husband a pocket watch. Forty years later he still has it!
They seem to be something so many people love to have or would love to have.
This is such a beautiful watch! I like that this looks like a classic or antique watch, it would make for a great Fathers day gift!
It is really nice isn’t it – Ash has a couple he has got from antique stores as well.
What a beautiful piece! I think this would make such a great gift for my hubby!
I hope he loves it if you decide to buy it for him.
This is unusual but a really beautiful looking pocket watch.
It is so nice isn’t it – definitely something I am sure Ash will keep forever.
That pocket watch would make an excellent gift! So neat!
Definitely a great idea as a gift, something really different to give to someone.
I have just clicked through to the website, it looks so cool and modern and they have some really unique pieces. This time piece is classic and i havent seen anything else like it! Wish i would of seen this last month for my husbands wedding gift! Gorgeous website!
They really have so many great items on there, so much choice!
This is such an elegant and vintage looking watch. I have never invested in a pocket watch before, sounds like a great idea.
We have quite a few now and they are all so different!
That’s a very nice looking piece. My Dad collected pocket watches years ago but I don’t recall seeeing a double sided one.
It is amazing the different kinds you can get.
Love this. My dad had one for years and then after he passed, my mom gave it to my brother. It will always have a place in my heart. Glad to see they are still in style.
Aww what a lovely memory – it is great when they have such things attached to them.
This is a trip back in time no pun intended. I always liked the look of these but have not seen one lately. Engraved and personalized would make a great gift.
If you get one like this that stands up it has a use as well 😉
Now that would be a fun gift to give somebody. Pocket watches have not been happy for a long time. It brings me back to my grand mother who had one. I always thought it was so cool.
There really is something about them isn’t there. Definitely, a fun gift to give too.
This would make a fantastic Father’s Day present! How elegant! I also love the fact that you can personalize it.
It is wonderful and that you can do too sides as well I think makes a huge difference.
I’ve always been a fan of pocket watches. It just feels awesome to pull a watch from a pocket to find the time. I love history, so I feel like I’ve gone back in time. I used to have a pocket watch, but I lost it years ago :/ I might have to get this one!
It is such a lovely throw back in time I think, definitely something really special about them.
Such a vintage piece of class…I used to see my grandfather with pocket watches some years back before wrist watches took over. Anyway, this pocket watch look so beautiful and I think I’m even loving the colored writings on this watch….is it because I love color? Maybe…
I definitely think it’s going to be something that people do love for sure! It’s not a bad thing, just wasn’t for us.
This is so pretty. It looks like a wonderful gift idea as well. I’ve always wanted a pocket watch.
It really is a great gift idea something that can be treasured 🙂
My husband has a huge collection of watches and is very fussy! I think this Heritage pocket watch is just stunning a lovely piece to be cherished.
Oh wow I bet him and Ash would love a good chat haha!
What a beautiful pocket watch. Are pocket watches coming back into style again. I remember my grandfather wearing one all the time with a chain.
They do seem to be slowly coming back I’ve seen a lot about.
No way – are pocket watches making a comeback? I always thought they were super classy and would love to have one!
I think they might be I’m see more around than ever before for sure!
Stylish!
