Colonel Littleton from Dann Clothing Watch Collection Engraving included ! "Men carried pocket watches until the wristwatch was introduced into a skeptical American marketplace after soldiers wore them as a matter of practicality and neccessity in World War I. Soldiers' watches were made with pierced grilles to protect the hands and crystal from the rigors of battle. After the soldiers returned from battle, they demanded the convenience they had come to appreciate in the wristwatch, and a new era in timepieces hit mainstream America. The look of these early watches, first worn by the military, has been recaptured in the Colonel Littleton Watch Collection." "Newly upgraded --our military-inspired wristwatches by giving them superior porcelain dials. Both watches now sport crocodile straps, have luminous hands and are beautifully presented in 5" x 4" x 3" burl camphor wood boxes. These boxes, made by a manufacturer of fine pianos, receive eight coats of lacquer to give them their outstanding piano finish." Colonel Littleton These are truly wonderful watches from The Colonel. The personalization on the back makes it a keepsake ! Please see my published article below on engraved gifts.....Grandpa's engraved watch certainly applies here ! Makes a wonderful gift !

Engraving a fine personal accessory makes it immediately more special.....more personal.....

and a keepsake.

Its a wonderful pocket watch.....a really nice set of tuxedo stud sets....but as soon as there are initials on it...........it takes on a whole new world of importance. Suddenly it is personal...........and it becomes a gift or a personal choice that is not discarded the next year or two. It becomes a lifetime possession. An item that might have ended up at the bottom of the drawer or gotten thrownin jumbled box of items at a garage sale, once personalized, is now highly valued.

Suddenly it will be a keepsake for a grandchild after you are gone.

I have cuff links, which I wear, that were my Dad's. I also have watches which belonged to by Dad and to my Grandfather--- both have their initials. These mean the world to me and I will pass these on to my sons. I also have many items with my own initials. Many of these have been gifts from special people and from special times.Most engraved items have room for three initials........with the last name initial the most prominent in the middle. Some will have room for a full name (up to 12 letters) in block or script or even Greek Letters.......some will have room for a date or year..........which really bumps up the importance of a particular item.

Gold plate and Sterling Silver gifts of this nature make wonderful and treasured gifts for Graduation,Bar Mitzvah, wedding..........and wedding party...........and for someone special. Tuxedo Stud Sets, Blazer Buttons,money clips, letter openers, belt buckles (both casual and dressy), as well as pocket watches, wrist watches, luggage tags and pocket knives. There are some nice desk and bar items and even some permanent plates that can be personalized for luggage. These items do not need to be Gold or Sterling Silver to be considered important........the metal really is secondary.

These were chosen for you.......with your initials or name..........that's what is important.
