The material of the case is like plastic which is not Victorian as plastic was not even created, it works more as a functional tribute to the genre than historically correct. I would recommend this mostly for Cosplay, events and casual wear as it is begs to be explained for smarter attire a plain pocket watch though your choice and works pretty much equally.

What people say about this pocket watch;

‘I received this earlier today and I was immediately really pleased with the look and feel. It is quite weighty with a nice chain . The blue / black and gold effects are really pleasing. It has kept perfect time over the past 5 hours – I realise that isn’t really a long enough time and I will update later. I’ll also give an indication as to how long it will go on a single full wind. What really amazes me is that the movement actually has a self winder – the sellers do mention this in passing in the description but don’t make it a feature for some reason. The two things I am not so keen on –
(i) The hour hand and the minute hand are the same width so that when the minute hand crosses the hour hand it actually looks as if the hour hand has fallen off!
(ii) The front glass isn’t glass as described – it’s fairly thin plastic. Which is a shame as the rest of the watch is made so well. (The rear glass is glass, as far as I can tell).

These two faults would certainly not have stopped me buying it.’

Locomotive Silver Steampunk Pocket Watch

I had the pleasure of trying out the ZHOUBA Locomotive Silver Steampunk Pocket Watch recently, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. This timepiece truly combines both Steampunk style and functionality in a unique and lovely way. But what really caught my attention was the design. The hollow and locomotive design adds a touch of vintage charm that I absolutely adore. It’s truly one-of-a-kind and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

The locomotive as shown on the front face of the pocket watch was cutting edge technology in the Victorian era. It showcased mechanics especially those innovative moving cogs and gears wonderfully. Any other Steampunk fan will instantly know you are a Steampunker and break that conversational ice like a great big steampunk ice breaker locomotive in the everyday office or at events like Cosplay. The pocket watch asks ‘Do you love the locomotive?’ or ‘What is your favourite Steampunk technology?’ ectara ectara

Demonstrate your understanding of the Steampunk fashion and its subtle nuances and attract like minded fans, gents and ladies, it is easily recognisable as a tribute and a icon of the style. I believe it would be great as a more elegant classy Victorian outfit or cosplay. Also with such a beautiful icon would be great on your mantle piece on display when you are not using it compared to the more plain pocket watches. Check out the various pocket watch display ornaments found online.

It has not been made historically correct to Victorian materials and design with a reliable though modern Quartz movement. Lastly it features a lovely Neo Victorian floral pattern on the back and of course a mechanical movement for hand winding. It keeps good time when wound once daily and is light in weight good for your suit pockets. The fact that it can be worn as a watch or as a necklace adds versatility to its use, making it a standout accessory in my collection.

When it comes to durability, the ZHOUBA Locomotive Silver Steampunk Pocket Watch doesn’t disappoint. Crafted with an alloy case material, it is built to last. Despite being durable, it’s not too bulky thanks to its 4.5cm/1.77″ case diameter, ensuring comfortable wear.

What I also appreciate is the convenience that comes with it. The included 80cm/31.5″ chain makes it easy to keep the watch secure and accessible at all times. It’s the little details like this that make a difference.

But what truly makes the ZHOUBA Locomotive Silver Steampunk Pocket Watch stand out is its ability to be a stylish accessory and a thoughtful gift option. Whether it’s for yourself or a friend, this pocket watch is bound to impress. The unique design, precise movement, and versatile functionality make it a must-have for any watch enthusiast.

‘This watch is amazing, it runs smoothly, the complete glass case is amazing, you can see all the movement.. The chain is nice and light.’

Kitty

‘For the money this is surprisingly well made. You can marvel at the workmanship of all the mechanism which is clearly visible trough both back and front. The unexpected bonus is that you can see the wind up spring so can clearly see when it could do with a couple of turns to keep it from stopping. Seems to keep good time as well.’

‘Didn’t think it was working to start with, but wound it up fully and hey presto, it’s goes for a good eight hours. Obviously, towards the last couple it losses time, but it’s a nice looking watch. Feels good, looks more expensive, not to sure about the chain, but I’m changing mine for a real gold chain. Looks good for any occasion, although I’ve been wearing all day…missus thinks I’m nuts getting it out every couple of hours…’

Andrew

‘The watch looks great but it needs regular winding. If you forget, it starts to lose time. I forgot to wind it one night and it lost over five minutes by the morning. I recommend winding it mid day and before bed. Then it’ll be okay.’

To the touch the wood is smooth and the natural woods pattern makes the watch unique to any other in circulation that is a big feature no two are the same.

The wood is framed by a gorgeous Victorian pattern on the outer edge whilst in the middle is a small window so you can see the ticking hands and read the time easily closed for when you are on the go.

What people say about this pocket watch;

‘Very cheaply made but keeps the time well. A full wind lasts about 2 days. Looks better in the pictures than it does in real life. A major flaw of This watch is the design on the face – it looks the same as the hands, resulting in an almost unreadable face in anything except bright light.
I bought this to complete the look of a new suit so I wasn’t overly worried about whether it worked or not. I just needed something fast and cheap.. so in my case I’m not too bothered that it’s crap – it does the job I wanted it for.’

The intricate pattern on the front of this pocket watch is beautifully designed as was many creations of the Victorian era. It makes me think of exquisite Victorian architecture like The Crystal Palace in London or sophisticated chandeliers very fashionable at the time. 

There is a lovely engraved border matching the overall style in a classic Steampunk bronze colour. You can see the ticking hands through the front covers elegant pattern. This I feel would work more for a Steampunk lady than a gentleman or a sophisticated upper-class gentle man, this is because it is so delicate.

The materials used in this pocket watch are of high quality. The movement is a hand-wind mechanical movement, which enhances its reliability and durability.

Here is what people say about this pocket watch;

‘It seems to keep reasonable time, I find myself constantly giving the winder a twist or two every time I pick it up.

The inner cover is plastic, the back glass. The inner cover rattles and spins. Its not a major issue, but it would have been nice for them to have used the same material on both sides.

The locking mechanism on the main cover works well and is spring loaded.

The actual watch face bugs me though. It uses the “traditional watch” roman numerals, not actual roman numerals. On the watch face, you have I, II, III, IIII and V not I, II, III, IV and V.
I was taught how to do maths in roman in school so this is very annoying to my mind. I suppose IIII is 4 but thats not how you write it…hey hum…

I can’t complain at the price though.’

‘It’s built to a price alright, and although it at first appears to be steel, in fact it’s chrome-plated aluminium alloy (Mazak). You first notice it with the mould flashing round the winder ferrule. The plating is very good though, and the classic design is lovely, but would have been nice to have minute markers. On mine at least, the front opens with one push of the knob, the back with the second. The chain is quite good, better than feared.

The movement’s not bad, and in fact has so far proven very accurate, but the nature of a cheap watch is that some will be good timekeepers, others won’t. I doubt it will last long, but it might – I have cheap mechanical watches decades old.

Overall, I’m pleased I bought it.’
