Here is a link to the Shinola $1000 "Henry Ford Pocket Watch"

Each of the 1,000 has a price of $1,000, available October 24, 2014, which also gains the owner membership in Shinola’s own collectors club, The Foundry. Pocket watches are a unique market of their own, so it is intriguing that Shinola went this route.

I just received my email from them this morning. I think I'll pass.

anything sold as a collectable will never be a collectable. Buy a real antique pocket watch for a grand and in 5 or 10 years it'll be worth at least that much. This one here? not so much.

I have two pocket watches,one from 1913 the other 1926. They are worth more to me than this one would ever be .

For 300 dollars you can get a real antique waltham vangard Pocket watch built in 1900's in perfect running condition!

When they don't sell enough of them, they'll just remove the Ford signature and replace with Chevy or Studebaker

I have a real Studebaker pocket watch and didn't pay that much.

I need to buy one because I'm running out of time.

Art Bjornestad · 10-25-2014, 08:15 PM

Very good Tom!

I have the watch my grandmother gave my grandfather when they were married. There is no money I would accept for the watch.
