Welsh Dragon Pocket Watch

Welsh Dragon Pocket Watch

Keep a dragon in your pocket. The Welsh Dragon Pewter Pocket Watch carries y Ddraig Goch in full barbed-tongue, bat-winged detail on the front, hand cast in some of the finest British Pewter.

The motif is hand cast at our Birmingham pewter workshop, then fitted with a reliable quartz movement and a three-year battery. The single-tone finish is more traditional and less dressy than our two-tone Cymru watch, better suited to everyday wear and a stronger canvas if you would like the back engraved. It comes with its chain in a leatherette presentation box, a good gift for St David's Day, rugby internationals, milestone birthdays or Welsh fathers and grandfathers.

The dragon has been a symbol of Welsh power and victory for centuries. In Arthurian legend the title Pendragon was given to British chiefs in moments of national crisis, which is where a good deal of the dragon's weight as a symbol comes from. It is a design that means something in Wales rather than simply decorating a case.

A Pewter Maker picking up an Antique Mould

A E Williams (Est 1779) Ltd is one of Britain's oldest pewter makers, still run by the family that founded it nearly 250 years ago. 


The story began when Thomas Williams started a small workshop making flatware and dishes from his home on the Welsh border, and from there the craft passed down through eight generations of the same family, all the way to Rebecca Johnson, who joined the business in 2015. 


Today we're based at our workshop in Digbeth, Birmingham, where we've been since the early 1970s.

OUR STORY
Pouring molten pewter into a bronze mould

We work from a collection of over 1,500 antique bronze moulds, some of which are centuries old. Many were made by hand long before machine tooling existed, and we still use them today, alongside moulds and skills of our own, to produce pieces with the kind of character that mass production simply can't replicate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At A E Williams, the materials we work with have been chosen over nearly 250 years of making things properly. Pewter sits at the heart of everything we do, but we also work with slate, glass, leather, and wood — each selected because it brings something the others can't: a different feel, a different occasion, a different kind of beauty.

Whatever you're looking for, every material we use is chosen to last, and to look better for it.
