""There has been a gentle but noticeable return of interest in pocket watches. They are never going to be mainstream again, but that is not really the point.""
""What I have noticed is a broader shift in how people are thinking about objects in general. There is a growing appreciation for things that feel more considered, more mechanical, more real in a way.""
""Shows like Peaky Blinders have a strong influence because they reintroduce objects like pocket watches in a way that feels natural and character driven, rather than nostalgic for nostalgia's sake.""
Since the launch of Peaky Blinders in 2013, Cillian Murphy's character Tommy Shelby has influenced fashion trends, particularly with his pocket watch. The watch, believed to be a Waltham railroad pocket watch, has seen a 100% increase in online searches following the announcement of a spin-off film. Experts note a gentle resurgence in pocket watch interest, highlighting a broader appreciation for mechanical objects. Shows like Peaky Blinders reintroduce such items in a character-driven manner, contributing to their renewed appeal in both everyday life and Haute Horlogerie.
