Hand-finished pocket watch conversions with welded lugs, preserved dials and original movements

Pocket Watch Conversions

The art of pocket watch conversion — the pocket watch to wristwatch conversion — didn't come easy. Before turning a pocket watch into a wristwatch, I spent years studying horological history. I started restoring vintage pieces purely for the love of the craft.

Then, I saw how others were doing pocket watch conversions. To be blunt, the execution looked crude and lacked respect for the original timepieces. I knew I could do better.

And I did. Over the years at antiquewrist.com, I completely re-engineered the lug-welding technology and the shaping of watch lugs, cutting the pocket watch turned into wrist watch process from months to days without losing quality.

Below is the complete portfolio of every conversion I have ever created. To see the full 14-year technical evolution of how I solved the crown and lug problems, visit the dedicated Pocket Watch Conversions page.
