Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson & Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it. Every spring, the clocks go forward, & every autumn they go back. ” Saving the Daylight” explores for the first time the contentious, & often entertaining, story of this deceptively simple attempt to regulate the sunlight hours. Throughout its surprisingly controversial history, DST has been claimed to impact a wide variety of diverse & often unexpected areas, including agricultural practices, the reporting of sports scores, street crime, voter turnout & many other, sometime unexpected aspects of daily life.

The Savoy Pocket Watch is the perfect timepiece to honor the watchmakers & wearers of old. One was not a gentleman without a pocket watch, usually kept in a breast pocket & attached to a chain. The Savoy Pocket Watch is reminiscent of the clocks used during the Edwardian era – or, more specifically, those used by staff aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. The pocket watch’s aged face keeps time in both Southampton (the departure point of the ill-fated cruise liner) & New York, the ship’s intended destination, & features the White Star Line shipping company’s flag. With its beautiful duo-tone brass finish & solid brass case, the Savoy Pocket Watch will make a delightful addition to any collector’s cabinet.
