Technical Specifications

The watch houses a 17 jewel skeleton mechanical movement, allowing you to observe the intricate inner workings through the transparent case back. This double full hunter design provides protection for both the watch face and the movement display, with covers on the front and back that open to reveal the time and mechanics.

What's Included

Each watch comes complete with a matching chain for secure attachment and a leatherette presentation box, making it ready for gifting or personal collection storage.

The Greenman Symbolism

The Greenman motif has many variations. Found in many cultures around the world, the Green Man is often related to natural vegetative deities springing up in different cultures throughout the ages. Primarily it is interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, or "renaissance," representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some speculate that the mythology of the Green Man developed independently in the traditions of separate ancient cultures and evolved into the wide variety of examples found throughout history.

Design and Construction

The double hunter case design distinguishes this pocket watch from standard models. Both the front and rear covers protect the crystal and movement, opening with a press of the crown. The skeleton movement showcases the mechanical components in motion, revealing gears, springs, and jewels working in harmony.

Mechanical Movement Details

The 17 jewel movement represents quality mechanical watchmaking. These synthetic ruby jewels reduce friction at critical pivot points, improving accuracy and longevity. Unlike quartz watches, this mechanical timepiece requires manual winding and offers the traditional experience of mechanical horology.

Ideal Applications

The Greenman design appeals to those interested in Celtic heritage, nature symbolism, and vintage aesthetics. The presentation box and included chain make this watch suitable for special occasions, while the mechanical movement attracts watch enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate traditional timekeeping mechanisms.
