Charles-Hubert, Paris Mechanical Pocket Watch Review

Update (July 5th, 2010 - back to 4 Stars):
AMAZON rocks for fast turn around returns!!! Sent in the return notice to Amazon and received the replacement watch the next day. So far the new watch is performing well and I am very pleased with it. Each half wind still equals an hour to wind up and everything about it seems tighter. Time keeping is still good, has not stopped yet and I still like the watch!

Update (July 02, 2010 - dropped to 3 stars):
Returning the watch. Maybe it was just mine, not sure since no one has posted other reviews. The watch just kept stopping, sometimes after a few hours, sometimes a few minutes. A watch that needs another watch so you can tell time is useless. Returning today for a replacement. Hope it is just this watch because it really is exactly what I was looking for in a pocket watch.

Update (July 01, 2010 - dropped to 4 stars, not quite perfect):
I have used the watch for a little over a week now and still like the look and feel of it. There are some things that I have noticed:
1. Each half turn seems to equal about an hour of operation and I wind this every morning at around the same time and it takes about 24 half turns until I feel tension in the spring. The first time I wound it up it took about 40.
2. The watch has stopped twice for some reason. I am treating it like a $76 timepiece so I am not throwing it around or doing anything other than keeping it in my pocket until I want to know the time. Both times the watch was still wound pretty good (once after 17 hours of operation, the other around 7 - still with plenty of tension in the spring). I feel that a $76 timepiece should not stop within a week of ownership. If it happens much more then I will have to look at my alternatives.
3. No way to set the second hand.
4. It is keeping pretty good time with my other clocks ... whenever I reset it.
5. The covers are a little off. The front cover more so than the back. I can actually push it to the right a little and the cover pops open (I fixed this by sliding the lock a little since there is some space to do that). Not completely centered (nit-picky yes, but remember $76). If I wanted it to be poorly machined, I would have bought a "dollar watch".

So, with everything said and done it retails for $114 (says so in the box). It is functioning pretty good and I still like it. I can deal with things being a little off (it is not really a high-end watch) and winding every day it is part of owning a mechanical timepiece, but if it keeps stopping then it is worthless. I will probably do one more update and it will say: "Still working!" or "Returned because it stopped working."

Original post (June 23, 2010):
This pocket watch fit my needs perfectly. Just wanted to have one and it is nice to have the skeleton type just to see though it and see all the inner workings of a timepiece like this. I also have gotten use to not wearing a wrist watch so this is nice to have in my pocket (and I don't keep looking at my cell phone to get the time). Is it the best one out there? No, but for $76 it has a nice look and feel to it. Keeps good time and makes me want to check the clock more often. If you are just looking to get into pocket watches, perhaps a quartz or cheaper watch is a good start. It takes getting used to. You just can't flip your wrist over and check the time, instead you have to reach in your pocket and pull the watch out (plus the chain takes some getting used to as well) and either look through the little window (as this watch has) or open it and take a look. But if it is something you have always wanted then this is a nice watch to do that with. Image does not show it but it comes with a curb chain.
