subject: Ladies Watches- A Perfect Style Statement! [print this page] There are many different styles and terms that apply to the appearance and looks of the watch, when shopping for a pocket watch. Gold tone, chrome, Rose gold, two tone, silver tone or sterling silver are some of the main colours. Ranging from blue, grey and even green, this is then matched with the colours of the dial. In the actual style though, the main difference lies and from a Hunter to an open face, so unique, this is what makes the different styles of pocket watches. Watches are of different kinds. Pocket watches are one of them. As the name suggests, these watches can be kept in a pocket.
A watch that comes without a lid or cover which means that the face is always visible, an Open Face is just as the name suggests. In different colours, this style will come and to link the pocket watch to a jacket, will often come with a chain. When it is placed into a pocket, something could quite scratch the face which is the main concern with the open face.
So the face of the watch can still be seen, even when the lid is closed, another popular gents watch is the Half Hunter style comes with a lid that has a clear, small window on it. For those people that want to easily be able to see the time this is ideal but for the face of the watch, also want some protection. In chrome, sterling silver, gold or rose gold half Hunter pocket watches are most common. A Full Hunter is different in only one aspect though otherwise it is similar to the Half Hunter, in that the lid is a more protective one which covers the watch face and when the lid is closed, the time cannot be seen. So you wouldn't tend to find a sterling silver watch with a gold lid the lid tends to be the same colour as the style of watch. A wide range of ladies watches are also available in these styles.
To provide a protective casing around the watch face and back, the Double Hunters watch has two lids that cover both the front and back of the watch. When the back lid is opened you can see the movements of the watch as the parts are visible and this is the difference among these styles.
On most styles of pocket watches, engraving is also possible, either on the lid if it has one or on the back of the watch. It's always worth checking that the pocket watch you have selected is able to be engraved if you do want to get an engraving. Today, these watches have become a style statement.
