Battle Of Britain Mechanical Pocket Watch

Battle Of Britain Mechanical Pocket Watch

Wind a watch by hand the way it used to be done. The Battle of Britain Limited Edition Mechanical Pewter Pocket Watch has a double full hunter case and a 17-jewel skeleton movement you can watch working.

Both front and back lift open, so the gears are visible through the back. There is no battery and no quartz, just hand-wound mechanical engineering. At around 92g it is heavier than our quartz models. It comes complete with its chain in a leatherette presentation box, a natural choice for RAF veterans, aviation enthusiasts, watch collectors, retiring engineers or milestone birthdays.

The pewter front is made in some of the finest British Pewter at our Birmingham factory, with the three most famous aircraft of the Battle of Britain in high relief. As a memorial to the pilots who fought to hold the skies in the summer of 1940, it is one of the more moving pieces in our range. This is a limited edition, so once they are gone they are gone.

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.
