What To Look For When Buying Masonic Pocket Watches

Whilst not worn as much these days as was done in the past, many Freemasons purchase a Masonic Pocket Watch to wear on special occasions. They are available new in 9 Carat gold or they may be gold plated, with either an engraved dial or engraved case and can often come in a non-traditional triangular shape if desired.

The quality of Masonic Pocket Watches ranges from poor to good, and the various styles go from plain to ones that are highly ornate. Often the selection of an old used watch with some tradition attached to it is preferred to the purchase of a new one. However, if you are not able to get your hands on a pocket watch that has a bit of history, the next best thing would be to find one that suits your personal taste. After you continue to wear it, it could be an item that you pass down to your sons or grandsons when they too enter the Order and become a Freemason. Your watch will create its own history that can then be shared with future generations.

A simple thin style is more comfortable to wear and sometimes they are carried in a thin lambskin pouch to protect the case from scratches.  Of course there are quite a few different varieties of Masonic watches that are also available with their matching accessories. Pocket watches are fairly lightweight, as they have been designed with this in mind. The majority will come with a chain that you can use to pin the watch to your shirt, sash or jacket. Pocket watches look great as an added accessory when you are dressed from top to toe in all of your regalia.

Most Masonic Pocket Watches, when purchased brand new, will come in a stylish jewellery box and you may even choose to have the watch or box engraved. If you are not sure if you are looking at an authentic Masonic pocket watch, look for the compasses, as they will definitely be a feature on the outside of the enclosed watch.

Where can you buy top of the range pocket watches?

These days it is best to look for your pocket watches online, as you will have a much wider choice available to you. You will also be able to view the insignias clearly and read detailed descriptions about the watch. You can then use this information to make comparisons to then select the pocket watch that is ideal for you.

If you are not comfortable shopping online, it is still worthwhile to have a look and get an idea of the different styles. Many online Masonic websites will also have catalogues available and this will allow you to ring up and discuss your options with a skilled craftsman or supplier. You may be able to make your purchase over the phone, or you may be able to visit the premises and view the different pocket watches first hand.
