When purchasing your timepiece, it is essential that you know exactly what you will receive. Features such as chains, cases or simply a fob are important to check as well as whether the whole watch is solid silver, including a silver chain. A fully silver pocket watch adds a touch of high end charm to any outfit, whilst a metal chain is better for using when working. Ensure that you choose a chain that goes with your silver pocket watch. For highly detailed pieces, a slimmer chain will work well, whilst a thicker chain may look better with a simple silver pocket watch.
