** Pocket Watch Tip ** A Steamboat Willie pocket watch is coveted by collectors of both Disney memorabilia as well as pocket watches. You may not be able to find one of these in your local jewelry store or watch shop, but don't despair. There are places where you can obtain one of these watches for yourself or to give as a gift.

A Mathey pocket watch can make a perfect addition to any personal jewelry or pocket watch collection. Many people collect pocket watches and often hand them down as family heirlooms. Pocket watches have been around since 1510, when master clockmaker Peter Henlein began manufacturing and distributing them throughout Europe. Henlein's watches gained wide popularity, and from then on, pocket watches became the timepiece of choice. However, in the 1600's, pocket watches weren't carried in the pocket at all. These boxy timepieces were worn on a chain around the neck, and it was quite a while before the small pocket watch we now recognize was designed. Prior to World War I, pocket watches were the timepiece of choice for men, because wristwatches were viewed as feminine pieces of jewelry.

However, during World War I, soldiers in the field found that wristwatches were much better alternatives to pocket watches when it came to checking the time quickly and conveniently. Wristwatches gained popularity in the media and a plethora of companies gave consumers lots of choices when it came to their personal timepiece. After that, most people switched from pocket watches to wristwatches for their timekeeping needs.
