Vintage Watches as an Investment in 2026: Why Pocket Watch Conversions are Rising in Value.
In an era of mass production, collectors are increasingly turning to the past. At E-V-W.com, we believe that a unique timepiece with a 100-year-old movement is more than just a watch—it's a wearable investment that often outperforms traditional assets like gold or stocks.

The Rise of Marriage Watches (Conversions)
Pocket watch conversions, also known as Marriage Watches, have transitioned from niche curiosities to high-end collector items. Why? Because they offer the mechanical complexity of a high-grade 19th-century caliber (like IWC, Omega, or Longines) in a format suitable for modern daily wear.
- Rarity & Scarcity: We analyze every movement's serial numbers and inscriptions. Many movements we source are from limited production runs.
- Artisan Craftsmanship: Hand-decorated bridges and swan-neck regulators are features of luxury horology now available at your wrist.
- Value Appreciation: As the supply of well-preserved vintage movements dwindles, the market price for high-quality conversions continues to climb in 2026.
