Pocket Watch Accessories

Pocket Watch Accessories are the small extras that help you carry, store and show off a pocket watch. This short range includes a pocket watch pouch with chain and a pocket watch display stand. For chains and presentation boxes, see the dedicated chain and box categories linked below.

What accessories does a pocket watch need?

Most owners want three things: a chain to wear the watch, somewhere safe to keep it, and a way to display it. A pouch protects the case from scratches in a bag or drawer, and a stand holds the watch upright on a desk or shelf.

Where are the chains and boxes?

Chains have their own category, Pocket Watch Chains, and boxes are in Pocket Watch Display Boxes. Need a watch first? Start with Vintage Style Pocket Watches.

Who buys pocket watch accessories?

Gift buyers add a pouch or a stand so the watch is ready to hand over. Collectors use a stand to keep a favorite watch on show between wears, and travelers use a pouch to keep the crystal safe in a bag.

Frequently asked questions

Is a chain included with a pocket watch?

Chains are listed separately in Pocket Watch Chains. Check the product page of the watch you are buying to see what is included, and add a chain in a matching finish if you plan to wear the watch on a vest or belt loop.

What is a pocket watch pouch for?

A pouch is a soft cover that keeps the case and crystal from rubbing against keys, coins or other watches. It is useful for travel and for storing a watch in a drawer between wears.

How do I display a pocket watch?

A display stand holds the watch upright with the dial facing you, so it can sit on a desk, a bedside table or a shelf. Open the cover of a hunter case if you want the dial on show.
