Pocket Watches: The timeless elegance of Capital timepieces
In today’s fast-paced and digital world, some objects have the power to take us back in time, evoking the charm of a slower, more refined era. Pocket watches are among those rare treasures: symbols of timeless style, miniature mechanical marvels that once marked the hours of history—and are now making a stylish comeback, thanks to brands like Capital, which breathe new life into their classic appeal.
The pocket watch was born during the Renaissance, when the first mechanical innovations made it possible to miniaturize large tower clocks. In the 16th century, nobles and aristocrats began to carry these tiny marvels, often protected by ornately engraved and enameled cases. Back then, they were more than timekeepers—they were status symbols.
The 17th and 18th centuries brought remarkable technical advancements: more precise movements, slender hands, enamel dials, and the introduction of the protective “onion” cover, which made the watch even more durable and practical. Then came the 19th century, the golden age of pocket watches: found in the hands of London bankers, American pioneers, military officers, and Parisian poets alike.
With the arrival of the wristwatch in the 20th century, pocket watches seemed destined to fade away. But like all things truly beautiful, they were simply waiting for the right time to return.
