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. If we do not have this item in stock we will order it for you from our supplier. Delivery generally takes 3 weeks within the UK. For overseas delivery queries please email sales@stanfords.co.uk ...

Encapsulated, large (136.5 x 85.5cm / 4ft 5’’ x 2ft 10” approx.), impressive & informative physical map of the world which very successfully combines physical relief with vegetation or terrain colouring & well displayed names of countries & their boundaries.

- please click on the link above to see the full list of currently available titles. *LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:*- *laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- *encapsulated* wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- *please note:* many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
