Mechanical Movement and Construction

The 17 jewel skeleton movement represents traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. Unlike battery-powered watches, this mechanical timepiece operates through a spring-driven mechanism that requires manual winding. The skeleton design allows visibility of the intricate gears and jeweled bearings working in harmony.

The double hunter case provides protection for both the watch face and the crystal, with covers on front and back. This design originated in the 19th century to protect pocket watches from damage during daily use.

Welsh Dragon Symbolism

In heraldry a dragon varies greatly in especially in the shape of its ears, however the wings are those of a bat. The tongue and the tail can often be barbed and breathes out fire, it is also a symbol of power, wisdom and the one who has overcome an adversary. The poets Aneirin and Taliesin use the Welsh word for dragon 'draig' in the sense of a warrior of leader. This use is reflected in the Arthurian Legends where the British chiefs in times of extreme danger were conferred in the title Pendragon or headed-dragon, investing them with supreme power, such as that granted to Uther Pendragon, King Arthur's father.

What's Included

Each pocket watch comes with a matching chain for secure attachment to clothing or vest pockets. The included leatherette presentation box makes this timepiece ready for gifting without additional packaging required.
