How to work and wear your pocket watch

Chloe at Astares demonstrating how to use a pocket watch and how to wear it. It's a great chance to see the stock currently popular here at Astares Menswear

[@madarauchiha919]

@@jewishbunnyrabbits3963 absolutely. The catch on the inside of the case is a softer metal than the steel spring. If you do that to much it wond stay closed anymore.

[@jewishbunnyrabbits3963]

[@perrycollier2989]

When closing a Hunter case watch you do not just snap it shut. The metal on the case is softer than the steel retaining bar and if you snap it shut all the time you will wear out the retaining groove in the case. You should always push down on the crown and hold it down until the case is shut and then let the crown back up.

[@sitbone3]

Yes, exactly.

This is true. Antique pocket watches are things of real beauty. Get yourself one

[@yoBradyO11]

It is very sad when you see people doing that with solid gold timepieces

[@Johnny35130]

Have a pocket on your vest for the watch.And press the catch when closing to keep from wearing out the catch.

[@hemigod2]

That only applies to real Victorian watches..

The Video literally starts at 3:13 the rest is Advertisement.

[@imuncreative3022]

To be honest I only clicked on this specific video because the suit looks exactly like Phoenix Wright's fancy new suit. Even the shade of blue is the exact same.

[@unspecifiedusername8820]

3.36 "...but this isn't a real pocket..." Wrong. This is a real pocket, but pockets on waist coats are supplied with the pockets stitched closed, and you have to cut the stitches to open them, as with the pockets on a new suit jacket. Rookie mistake.

[@jonathanmartensson8535]

Yo give Phoenix Wright his suit back!

[@mattwilson6276]

Mine doesn't have a crown that turns, but the front glass pops open like the back. Do I just move the clock hands with my finger?

[@SuperHuman777]

0:49 The clip on the end of the chain is actually meant for your pants/trousers. The proper pocket watch chain ending for a waistcoat/vest is actually a T-bar/Albert bar. I don't mean to be rude, so I do apologize if I come off as such. I will admit though, the four styles of pocket watches in the video are neat. The steampunk ones may be my favorites. 3:17 The fact that you can make the belt clip end work with a waistcoat, that is clever. I also like the suit you have on the mannequin, reminds me of Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney.

[@jaskaran-ll3xk]

She is so good looking

[@The_D0C70R]

Is that suit on loan from Phoenix Wright?

[@pinkmagicali]

Have women ever worn pocket watches in history? Women don't tend to have jackets to use. I love them, I just love the style. Much nicer than those ugly square smart watches.

[@sitbone3]

Women usually wear hanging pendant watches.

[@TheProdigy621]

Is that phoenix wright's suit

[@Subcomandante73]

Not a real pocket? The it is not a real waistcoat. An albert bar would be the more secure way to wear the watch chain.

[@careersadviser]

Somebody please tell Chloe she was winding it clockwise, not anti-clockwise as she said and you must never turn a mechanical watch's hands backwards, always forwards.

[@chrono7792]

why are you not meant to wind it backwads?

[@careersadviser]

@@chrono7792 Mechanical watch mechanisms are extremely delicate. It is widely accepted that all adjustments should be "clockwise" the clue is in the name....

Dewam Lionhart it can make for an interesting topic tho yeah

[@madarauchiha919]

Of course you can. Both formal and informal. For formal I usually go with a chain with a t bar through one of the button holes, then I put the watch in the waist coat pocket. For informal I'd recommend a key attach somewhere around your belt with a cord tied to the fob of the watch. Don't put anything else in you pocket with the watch though, as this will acrath and damage the case.

[@alfieedwards3890]

Cheers

[@hemigod2]

Alright short stuff, you are breaking all types of rules here .that is a belt clip . To connect the fob to the waistcoat you will need what it’s called an Albert bar.. And that pocket is probably real you just need to quit cheating and bust the thread and that’s where the watch goes. You wouldn’t harm those lovely nails darling ...the only jacket pocket that is acceptable for a pocket watch is where your pocket where normally goes. And in this case, you connect Bob to the lapel button hole. You blokes across the pond made the rules

Do you sell them for online order ?

[@angusg220]

Gentlemen wear COATS. A potato wears a jacket. Never snap a Hunter watch closed, always use the button to secure closure and release once in place. Traditionally the watch was in a waistcoat with a floating T bar and secured in the corresponding waistcoat pocket was the key. Most pocket watches are "keyless" winding. On one end of my chain is a gold propelling pencil and on the other a pocket watch. I have full and half hunters, some gold and others in white metal. Some keep better time than others (indicative that a service is needed) and, depending on the occasion the choice of watch is important - large ones in the day time and smaller in the evening. The chains which you display seem to lack discretion and indicative of substance. They draw the eye, unnecessarily to try and give the illusion of class. A clunky chain is indicative of manual labour whereas a fine chain one more associated with managerial responsibility. A simple platinum bar with gold chain links does the job nicely for me, works well when I need to discuss portfolio with stockbroker, formal dress at weddings, evening dress when necessary or mourn at another funeral.
