A steampunk pocket watch is an object from the Victorian era that represented advances in technology at that time with a flair for the creative. Most pocket watches at the time had to be self-wound requiring no batteries to operate. And more often than not these watches would have a skeleton figure which means that the moving parts of the watch such as gears and cogs are visible to the naked eye. As many parts of steampunk fashion are inspired by the Victorian era, pocket watches play an important role in accessorizing your steampunk persona.
Over time the steampunk culture has evolved from normal Victorian designs to include the imagination of several creative artists all over the world. These artists have taken the creative license to design some of the most amazing retro-futuristic steampunk designs that use a combination of modern and retro. Even the design of pocket watches has evolved from the traditional self-winding skeleton designs to include a combination of retro and future. Several artists have used a combination of modern designs such as Quartz watches and the retro look of a vintage brassy cabinet to hold the watch.
A steampunk pocket watch is an amazing accessory that you can use to bring character to your steampunk persona. It provides a kind of elegance to your steampunk look that is reminiscent of the Victorian age. Here are some of the steampunk pocket watches that you can use in your day-to-day life or as part of your steampunk persona.
