What Factors Can Affect The Value Of Antique Pocket Watches?

Many antique pocket watches are surprisingly valuable and are almost certain to provide an excellent return on your investment.  There are certain factors that affect the value, no matter what brand or age your pocket watch is.  These include:

  • Age
  • Rarity
  • Condition
  • Popularity
  • Accuracy in Time Telling
  • Historical Value
  • A complete pocket watch with gold antique seal or gold fob/muff chain

An early reference to the pocket watch was in a letter in November 1462 from the Italian clockmaker, Bartholomew Manfredi, to the Marchese di Mantova Federico Gonzaga, in which he offers him a “pocket clock” better than the one belonging to the Duke of Modena.

By the end of the 15th century, spring-driven clocks appeared in Italy.  By 1524, in Germany, Peter Henlein, a master locksmith of Nuremberg, was regularly manufacturing pocket watches.

As the 16th century progressed, pocket watch manufacture spread throughout the rest of Europe.  Early watches only had an hour hand, the minute hand appearing in the late 17th century.
