TheĀ democratization of the Silver Pocket Watch
The first gusset watches were made of precious materials and were handcrafted, which reduced the number of watches and explained the high price. Sign of social status, the pocket watch was reserved only for the nobility until the use of changeable parts. In 1857, the American Watch Company of Waltham, Massachusetts, introduced the Waltham 57 model, the first to use interchangeable parts. This reduced manufacturing and repair costs. Most Model 57 pocket watches were made of numismatic ("one nine fine") silver, a 90% pure silver alloy commonly used in dollar coins, slightly less pure than British sterling silver (92.5%), both of which eschewed the higher purity of other types of silver to make circulating coins and other utilitarian silver objects last longer under heavy use.

After a decline with the advent of wrist watches, the pocket watch is making a comeback, worn as a classic on the vest or as a jewel, as a pendant necklace around the neck. Antique or modern watches, these timepieces are chronographs very popular with men but also with women. In silver, the case dresses the pocket watch and its inevitable chain with shiny or matte notes highlighting the dial. The dial follows the style of the watch, with ornaments, floral or animal motifs and various themes and colors. Fancy or luxury, the dial is often black or white to highlight the indexes. The analog display allows the time to be read thanks to Roman numerals or Arabic numerals or to the railroad markers, with lines or dots, all generally engraved or inlaid with the black color to enhance the case.
