We have seen a vast rise in the demand for Antique Pocket Watches here at LoveAntiques.com in recent months, which could be down to the popularity of recent period dramas such as Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey or simply because they make for timeless gifts. Whatever the reason is for this surge in sales, we're sure you'll have your own reason for loving Antique Pocket Watches. Our Dealer of The Month has a deep-rooted love for Antique Pocket Watches that stems from a rather endearing childhood memory. Leslie Licht, the founder of Euro Antique Watches, recalls a fond memory from his childhood where he was sat holding a beautiful Silver IWC Schaffhausen Pocket Watch belonging to his Grandfather, and became transfixed watching the second hand travel steadily around the face of the watch. He had a very close bond with his Grandfather, and when he sadly passed away years later, Leslie inherited this Pocket Watch, so of course, the watch serves as a memory of his dear Grandfather. From then on, Leslie started collecting Pocket Watches and in 1985 this hobby became a business and he established Euro Antique Watches. He started trading at Antiques Fairs, meeting customers and making business contacts, which brought him much enjoyment and great satisfaction, especially when seeing the delight in his customers faces when they purchased one of his Pocket Watches. With times changing and on-line services growing, Leslie made the decision in more recent years to solely trade online, selling mostly Antique Pocket Watches and the occasional clock or pocket watch fob and chain. He takes pleasure in listing new items on LoveAntiques.com and when asked what he enjoys most about the products he sells, he advised us that he mostly enjoys the high-quality technical movements, and is fascinated by the craftsmanship that goes in to these 'true pieces of art' When it comes to customer service, Leslie says, "My motto is: The client is king! I always offer my best service, and as a result I have received a large amount of very positive feedback regarding both service and packaging over the years. Buying at Euro Antique Watches is guaranteed to be a great experience" So whether you're looking for a gift or simply wanting to add to your own collection, make sure you take a look at the superb array of stock on offer from Euro Antique Watches.

Description
18kt Yellow Gold J G Graves Pocket Watch Made in Sheffield, England circa 1880 This is a very elegant Victorian 18kt yellow gold open-face pocket watch made in Sheffield, England, circa 1880. The watch comes with a decorative watch stand made of cherry wood, making it a perfect vintage gift or collector’s item! Dial:- The white enamel telephone dial has blue roman numerals with gold outer minute divisions. Each individual numeral is elegantly bordered by a golden cartouche. The dial has lyre hands and a gold-patterned design set on top of a pink centre. The dial is engraved J G Graves Sheffield at the top and Swiss Made below. The intricacy of the dial’s design is testament to its highly detailed craftsmanship. Movement:- The key wind cylinder movement (winding key included) is Swiss made and is currently fully functional but due to its antique nature, we cannot guarantee precise accuracy. Case:- The watch lies in an 18kt yellow gold case adorned with a pretty floral engraving and a monogram free cartouche in the centre. The rear of the case is marked 18K and numbered 188116. Signed: - J G Graves, Sheffield* *John George Graves (1866–1945) was a successful English entrepreneur and public benefactor. He was born in Lincolnshire in 1866 and died in 1945, after having settled in Sheffield. Graves moved to Sheffield to become an apprentice watchmaker.
