Wrist + Pocket = Wrocket!

So if you're anything like me, you have come across old pocket watches.  With luck, you might even have one or two in your collection.  But Richard Paige decided to take it a few steps further.

Dissatisfied with what was available at the $2,000 - $3,000 price point, and wanting to have something that wasn't dependent upon the whims of the SWATCH Group (ETA), he became determined to create something else.  Necessity met conservation!

In their own words -
The limited edition Rpaige Wrocket watch is a play on words. The watch uses an antique/vintage "12 size" (39.78mm) American pocket watch movement made by either Elgin of Illinois, or Waltham of Massachusetts.

Essentially, Richard has sourced these movements, refurbished them, and encased them in new art deco inspired case.

These are limited editions, and available direct from RPaige.
