Pocket Watch Stands

Pocket Watch Stands hold a pocket watch upright so the dial is on show, on a desk, a bedside table or a shelf. This category holds our pocket watch display stand, a simple way to display a watch between wears or to present one as a gift.

Where else can I find display options?

A stand suits a watch you want to see every day; a box suits one you want to keep safe. For closed storage or a gift box, see Pocket Watch Display Boxes. For chains, pouches and other extras, browse Pocket Watch Accessories.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a pocket watch stand?

A stand shows off the dial and case and keeps the watch off hard surfaces where the crystal could get scratched. It is also a handy place to set the watch down at night and pick it up again in the morning.

Can a hunter pocket watch sit on a stand with the cover open?

Yes. Open the cover before placing the watch on the stand so the dial faces you. Close the cover again when you take the watch out, so the crystal is protected once it goes back into a pocket.

Is a stand or a box better for a gift?

A box is better for wrapping and storage, while a stand is better for display. Many gift buyers choose a box for the handover, and a stand suits someone who wants to keep the watch on show every day.
