Plain Fronted Mechanical Pocket Watch

Have it engraved with words that will outlast you. The Plain Fronted Mechanical Pewter Pocket Watch has a clean, unmarked pewter front polished to a quiet shine, with a double full hunter case that opens front and back.

The pewter front is made in some of the finest British Pewter at our Birmingham pewter workshop, with a 17-jewel skeleton mechanical movement behind it, hand-wound and needing no battery. Without a motif the whole face becomes a canvas for engraving. Weighing around 92g, it comes complete with its chain and arrives in a leatherette presentation box, a natural choice for milestone retirements, twenty-first and fortieth birthdays or fathers handing something to sons.

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.
