From Clock Making to Pocket Watches: Rapport's Journey

The Rapport story started with clock making. 

Rooted in a legacy of masterful horology for over 125 years, we’ve now transferred those carefully perfected skills onto our pocket watch collection. Each piece seamlessly blends the rich British history and nostalgic charm of a bygone era with contemporary sophistication, offering you a timeless accessory that transcends the ages. 

Pocket watches, once the epitome of sophistication and precision, have a rich history dating back to the 16th century. These elegant timepieces were not just functional objects but also status symbols, reflecting the wearer's taste and social standing. Fast forward to today, and pocket watches are making a remarkable comeback, blending historical charm with modern functionality.

In an age dominated by digital devices, the appeal of pocket watches lies in their unique blend of history and elegance. They exude a sense of sophistication that is hard to match, making them standout accessories for any occasion. Each pocket watch showcases meticulous craftsmanship, offering a refreshing return to quality in a world of mass-produced gadgets. 

Our expertise in clock making carried forward into our pocket watch collection. Over 125 years ago, we learned, developed and sharpened our craft, and these skills have been perfected since. Derek Rapport, the third generation of the Rapport family to dedicate his life to horology, even has a ‘museum’ of Rapport clocks, dating back decades (seen below). The original Rapport clocks had intricately detailed engravings, and we’ve chosen to continue that heritage in our pocket watches. Through these beautiful engravings, the Rapport pocket watches reflect our long history in the world of clock making. 

Owning a pocket watch today is like holding a piece of history. As cherished heirlooms, pocket watches carry stories and memories across generations, making them perfect gifts that hold sentimental value - whether for a wedding, a retirement, or any other notable life moment. Embrace the charm and sophistication of pocket watches and carry a piece of history with you, elegantly reimagined for the present day.
