Pocket watches are becoming popular again. Why keep your pocket watch in a drawer when not in use? A pocket watch stand is a wonderful way to display a favorite pocket watch. Not only does a stand showcase a pocket watch it also keeps it safe from accidents and gives it a home so that you always know where it is. Stands with dome tops also ensure that the pocket watch will remain dust-free and safe from humidity.
Pocket watch stands are available in many different styles. A favorite one is a moon crest stand. This has a little shelf in which the pocket watch can sit. There is no need to unhook the watch from the chain because the base of this stand is meant to hold the chain. Choose from different stains to match your décor. The pocket watch sits at a slight angle and becomes a decorative item to be enjoyed and admired. The tilt of the watch also allows you to check the time at a glance.
Another favorite is one that looks like an arch over a shallow bowl. The pocket watch is meant to hang from a small hook at the top of the arch. This one is attractive in maple wood with different stains to choose from. Brass highlights bring out the shine of the wood, further enhancing the hanging pocket watch. This watch stand is available in larger sizes for larger pocket watches. Place in an area where it will be admired as well as let you know the time. Arched stands also come in gold or silver. Thin gold or silver arches allow more of the pocket watch to be the center of attention. Watches hang from a small hook at the top of the arch.
Domed watch stands come with a glass dome over a wooden, gold, silver or pewter base. A small hook hangs down from the top of the dome. These displays allow the watch to be viewed while keeping it free of dust. They also keep the watches free of humidity for states where this is a problem.
