Monarch Of The Glen Mechanical Pocket Watch

Monarch Of The Glen Mechanical Pocket Watch

Carry a piece of the Highlands in your waistcoat pocket. Our Monarch Of The Glen Mechanical Pewter Pocket Watch takes its design from Landseer's red deer stag, worked into a double full hunter case.

Both front and back lift open on a 17-jewel skeleton mechanical movement, so you can watch the gears working through the back. The pewter front is made in some of the finest British Pewter at our Birmingham pewter workshop. Weighing around 92g, this mechanical pocket watch comes with its chain in a leatherette presentation box. A natural choice for deerstalkers, Highland enthusiasts, milestone retirements, watch collectors or Scottish fathers and grandfathers.

The design comes from Sir Edwin Landseer's 1851 painting The Monarch of the Glen, a red deer stag set against the hills of Glen Affric, now hanging in the National Museum of Scotland. It became one of the most popular paintings of the nineteenth century and the defining image of the Highlands ever since. You will have seen it on more than a few biscuit tins.

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.
