Personalised Skeleton Pocket Watch from GiftsOnline4U: Review
One thing I have come to learn about Ash, is he likes pocket watches, he doesn’t particularly use them, but he does like to have them on display and his collection includes a whole host of different designs and styles. So when the lovely people at GiftsOnline4U got in touch and asked if I would like to review something from their website, it wasn’t hard to choose this beautiful pocket watch.
Personalised Skeleton Pocket Watch
One of the first things that captured my eye out about this particular pocket watch is the fact it gives you a view inside the inner workings of the windup mechanism within. This is viewable with the watch front both up and down, thanks to the circular cut out in the middle of the case, as well as in the dial.
The main watch face is white in colour and features the time marked out with Roman numerals and small marks for each minute in black, making for a wonderfully easy to read dial. To keep track of the exact time this watch features a second, minute and hour hand.
As I said above this pocket watch is a wind-up design, which when fully wound can last up to 25 hours, although it is suggested you rewind the watch every 20 hours to make sure it doesn’t slow down at all (however, do be careful not to overwind the watch).
When it comes to the outer case of the watch, this has been made with a highly polished, silver coloured finish and the back can be personalised with your wording of choices, allowing 72 characters over 4 lines (18 characters per line including spaces). For the engraving on Ash’s watch, I decided to go with Best. Story. Ever.
Personally, I think we both agreed that this is a really nice pocket watch, one which could definitely be used, for daily time keeping as well as being something that can go out on display.
If you are looking for an engraved pocket watch, be it engraved or not, then I definitely suggest checking out the selection that is available to buy at GiftsOnline4U, which includes a whole host of different styles and designs, with this particular watch costing £54.99.
What do you think of this personalised skeleton pocket watch, is it something you could see yourself buying or gifting?
Personalized gifts can be terrific if they’re given with thought. My Dad used to collect pocket watches and he would have enjoyed this.
This is a beautiful pocket watch. It would be an amazing gift for my Husband. Fathers Day is coming up fast.
Love old fashion watches, e.g. anything that isn’t digital. So glad that people still ear them & manufacturers are continuing to bring endless time pieces to market.
This would be the perfect present for someone who is graduating! I love that you can engrave them as well for an extra special touch.
I think pocket watches are just the perfect gift and it is personalized! I’d love to have this.
That one is pretty inside. I would like to wear that myself, on a long necklace chain.
When I was in high school (this is pre-cell phones) I loved pocket watches. I hate wearing a watch but always wanted to know the time, so I got myself a pocket watch. This one is so much more elegant looking and I love how you can see the gears inside!
I love this, such an original gift
I love personalized items and a pocket watch is just the cutest gift. I have not seen one in a while, they are so retro which is cool x
THis looks like such a fun watch. I know at least a few people that would love to receive this as a gift. Will look into it for sure.
That’s a beautiful pocket watch, it would look perfect on my bedside table!
Love that pocket watch and the price seems reasonable. Will deffo be having a look at the site to see what else they have. Ideal for fathers day 🙂 x
My sister loves skeletons and is quirky enough that she would wear this too – i love that it can be personalised!
How fun! My husband has been admiring pocket watches lately and I love that you can get this one engraved!
So cool to see pocket watchyes making a comeback. These are are so cool looking
I love the engraving on the outer shell. Engraving really creates a personal touch to a gift!
I really appreciate this helpful review. It is also perfect timing for Fathers Day! My family loves steampunk and this pocket watch would be perfect to go with my husband’s costume.
I love pocket watches. I think they are so classy and elegant. They always remind me of history.
They really do – Ash has an antique one which is beautiful as well.
That’s so neat! My husband and sons would really get a kick out of it I think–and probably get quite distracted watching the little gears 😀
It is really interesting to watch, I have to admit I sat for a while watching them go after winding it up.
Oh wow, my dad would love one of these for Father’s Day. It’s elegant and the fact that it’s personalized is just the icing on the cake.
It is so nice isn’t it, and most definitely the perfect Father’s Day gift.
Oh man, I love the style! It’s almost a Steampunk style watch! And I’m a huge pocket watch fan. I have 12 at the moment, and I’m thinking of getting some more too. They are so much nicer than standard wrist watches 🙂
Oh wow now that is some collection, Ash has all sorts in his even a Pokemon one from the Japan store haha!
This is neat to look at! My husband would probably like it. He’s always been a fan of pocket watches.
It is a really a lovely watch, I was glad the photos picked it up so well.
Loving the looks of this watch. This would make an ideal present for someone special 🙂
It really is so nice and seeing the inner workings make it much more interesting.
That is so cool. I have been thinking about getting my hubby a pocket watch for a while and I know he’d like this one.
Aw so pleased to have helped you find one that might be perfect for him.
For me anything and everything personalised automatically goes into my like column as I love personalised gifts and I am sure Ash is happy to add this one to his collection.
I am the same, I adore a good personalised item, they always seem extra special I think.
