Limited Edition of 50.

This pocket watch has been specially commissioned from Mappin & Webb Ltd, London.

Wonderfully inspired by the ceremonial uniforms and regalia worn by the Royal Family and the Guards of the Household Regiments during iconic events such as the Coronation, Trooping the Colour, and Garter Day, this pocket watch belongs to a collection of gifts inspired by the iconic livery. Expertly finished with an inscription of the words of 'Buckingham Palace.'

When timepieces first became small enough to be carried about one’s person, they were known as ‘pocket watches’. At first they were mostly owned by the gentry, who spent a lot of time on horseback. They wanted to take their watches with them, not only to tell the time, but also to impress the rest of the Hunt. Covers were fitted to either side of the watch, to protect the glass and dial during use.

Mappin & Webb have been Royal Warrant Holders since 1897. The company's master craftsman was appointed Crown Jeweller in 2012. A family business, the company was established in 1775, when Jonathan Mappin opened a silver workshop in Sheffield.

This piece is limited edition, and as such, is individually numbered and certificated.

Caring for your pocket watch
To open the front and rear cover of your watch, push the winder downwards. Take care not to strain the covers, as it will damage the hinges. When closing the covers, depress the winder to avoid damage. Great care must be taken not to overwind the watch, and a full wind will last for about 24 hours. To change the time: Pull the winder gently out to the stop position and turn it to adjust the time.
