How to Clean Antique Pocket Watches:

• Pry open the snap case back of an antique pocket watch using a blunt blade. If the watch has a screw-down case back, lay it face down in the palm of your hand and use the other hand to unscrew it counterclockwise, according to Thewatchguy.homestead.com
• Unwind the pocket watch by letting down the mainspring, a ribbon of tightly rolled steel inside the mainspring barrel. Rotate the crown at 12 o'clock a few clicks to identify the metal stopper that passes over the mainspring gear. Hold the crown and use a toothpick to push aside the stopper to disengage it from the gears. The watch will unwind. Use a screwdriver to remove the movement by unscrewing two screws fastening it at the edge of the case. Place all parts during the entire removal process into the parts tray
• Use the watch hands remover to hold the hands over the hour, minutes and seconds post. The hands remover holds the hands in place without damaging the post. Use the hands-grabbing tool by setting its feet on the dial and gently pull each hand separately from the post. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws at the edge of the dial that fastens it to the movement
• Use the tweezers to slide off the hour wheel, a brass gear under the dial's center. Use the needle nose pliers to remove the cannon pinion, a smaller gear on a small shaft. Use a screwdriver to remove the bridge, the flat metal sheet that houses the mainspring and gears. Unscrew the balance wheel that was underneath the bridge. The balance wheel contains a coiled spring, or hairspring, and is held in place by another bridge, or balance cock. Under the balance wheel is the T-shaped balance fork. Remove it with a screwdriver. Remove the jewels, often colored glasslike nuggets, from their holes on the bridges
• Soak all parts, except the mainspring, in naphta. Use the brush to gently scrub parts. Simply brush the mainspring. Soaking it will cause rust. Place parts on lintless paper to dry. Use a tiny portion of oil only to lubricate the jewel holes on the bridges. Once all parts are cleaned and dried, install the parts in reverse order of their removal

How to Wear a Pocket Watch on a Vest:

Pocket watches were once an indication of wealth. They were used by important men who had important schedules to keep. Over time they became less popular simply because they are not as easy to use as other timepieces. If you have a yearning for the distinctive, a pocket watch may be the perfect accessory. A pocket watch can be a conversation piece or a link to the past. Using a pocket watch will often garner comments and questions when you bring it out to check the time. If you wear a pocket watch with a vest, you will typically find that the vest is designed to carry a pocket watch on a chain. The watch is placed into a vest pocket and a stylish chain dangles and is attached to the vest. Here are some guidelines for wearing a pocket watch with a vest:

• Select a chain that you like. There are several different variations and many different styles of chains to choose from
• Some chains attach into a buttonhole and take the place of a button on the vest. From the buttonhole attachment, a chain connects to the watch and the watch is placed in a vest pocket. There may also be a second chain to use for attaching either a decorative item or a knife or a lighter or something of this nature
• Some chains attach into a buttonhole with a t-bar and are fastened into the buttonhole along with the button. From the t-bar, a chain connects the watch similarly to the buttonhole chain. There may also be a second chain with this style of chain as well
• Connect the chain to the vest in the method appropriate for your style of chain
• Place the watch into the watch pocket of the vest that is opposite your dominant hand. The watch needs to be placed in the watch pocket facing in toward the body. This facilitates easy manipulating of the watch when you bring it out of the pocket to check the time
• Allow the chain to sag between the connection and the pocket for an attractive look
