Paleogean Gulfs of Time in Your Pocket
The crazed maniacs over at Vermilion Collection offer their latest creation - a Lovecraft-inspired pocket watch. They've read “The Shadow Out of Time" carefully and have done their best to capture the bizarre iconography of the Great Race of Yith into a pocket watch that would look right at home on a 1920s investigator.
After a good initial winding, daily movement of the watch will keep the mechanism wound and on time. This handsome piece comes with the watch chain shown in the photos. It's not an antique, but it looks like one, and comes to you at a pleasantly affordable price.
Love this item. Took me far too long to fathom the winder/setting but I blame The Great Race of Yith! ;-)
Seriously a quality timepiece.
Definitely fits for my relics collection. I have always loved old time pieces, and pocket watches while not as fashionable as they once were a century ago, are still stylish. It winds up nice and always a great conversation piece when asked the time.
"Why yes, it is half past Cthulhu!"
I just hope the eldritch hands do not come seeking this relic. Must keep time!
Arrived safely today as of writing this review.
All I can say is wow this is a real beautiful watch the box contains an additional chain a qr code for instructions, and of course this gorgeous pocket watch,
Over the moon with this and a massive thank you for the hard work and craftsmanship to make this item, a solid 5 stars
A decent skeleton half hunting case mechanical watch.
The gold hands on the gold works are a little hard to read for my eyes, but that's a fairly common issue with skeleton watches. The window for the case is without lens. I would love an index to the symbols. Some I know, others I can only guess at.
It comes with a clip belt chain for use as a pocket watch, or a chain to wear around the neck as a locket watch and is sized appropriately.
As a warning: I've heard in the past that wearing a watch as a locket watch increase wear and tear on the inner workings of the watch from bouncing while you're walking. Between that and modern pocket watches seeming to need maintenance a little more often than vintage, you might want to limit using it as such.
As a suggestion: Pick up an actual fob chain. The Miskatonic class necklace (sold out here, but still available from the maker) makes a wonderful fob. I use a double albert chain and have added an elder sign to the other pocket.
It is beautifully crafted, the detail is awesome and even the box is a delight. I also like that you can see all the cogs working while marking the time. It is indeed a shadow out of time.
