Antique and Vintage movements
The limited edition Rpaige Wrocket watch is a play on words. The watch uses an antique/vintage “12 size” (39.78mm) American pocket watch movement made by either Elgin of Illinois, or Waltham of Massachusetts.
The Wrocket model comes from the joining of two technologies….the wristwatch and pocket watch…The wrist-pocket = the Wrocket watch. The 12 size pocket watch movements measures 39.78 mm, a perfect size for a modern oversize wristwatch.
