The Centenary Collection name signals an occasion, and this pocket watch has the shape to match it: a plain polished case, white dial, Roman numerals in black, and a matching chain built to clip to a belt loop in the traditional way. It is a deliberate piece of nostalgia at 48mm across, which at that diameter sits properly in the palm and reads clearly in the hand. The white dial and gold-toned case work together without crowding each other, and the date window near the six o'clock position adds a thread of practical use to what is otherwise a dress piece. The chain keeps it secured and self-contained, as a pocket watch ought to be.

Learn more about Limit

Limit has been sold in Britain since 1912, and for most of that time it has occupied one position without much deviation: the cheapest watch in the shop that is still worth owning.

It sits under Time Products, the same ownership as Sekonda and Accurist, which gives all three shared sourcing and distribution across British jewellers, catalogue retailers and department stores.

The range is deliberately conservative — plain dials, Roman or baton markers, gold-plated and stainless cases, leather and bracelet straps, mostly quartz with a small number of mechanical models. Pocket watches remain part of the catalogue, which few brands can still say.

It is a first watch, a school watch, a work watch and a gift watch, and it has been all four for over a century without pretending to be anything else.
