How to operate your pocket watch

You've purchased yourself a book-themed watch necklace or pocket watch necklace from Two Cheeky Monkeys but you've never owned a watch necklace before.  So what now?

I've been wearing and creating watch and pocket watch necklaces for many years now, and it can be easy to forget that not everyone is accustomed to these accessories.

Here are our answers to your frequently asked questions about our popular necklace range to help you wear your new necklace in glamour and style.

1. How do I open my pocket watch?

This can easily be done equally while you're wearing your pocket watch necklace or when it's sitting on your bedside table.

Simply push the button at the top of your pocketwatch and the decorative and protective cover should pop open for you to make sure you're on time!

2. How do I set the time on my watch?

For both watch and pocketwatch necklaces, the time is set with the little knob at the top or side of your watch.

Gently pull on the knob until you hear a click, then turn it clockwise until you have the time you want.

Push the knob back into the watch, and when it clicks in place, you should have the time set.

3. How do I replace my watch's battery?

This is best done by professionals at a jewellery store, watch maker's store or battery supplier, such as Mister Minit. 

But if you have a watch opening tool or thin pen-knife, you can prise off the watch backing and replace the battery yourself, making sure that you have double checked the battery type you need.
