A truly rare and charming find, this Smiths Nurse’s pocket watch dates to approximately the mid‑1960s and is presented in what can only be described as near new old stock condition. Designed to be clipped to a nurse’s uniform for easy viewing, it is both a beautiful piece of British horological history and a highly collectible item today. An ideal gift, display piece or conversation starter.

Freshly given a light service in our workshop, it is running well and ready to be enjoyed.

Our View

Smiths nurse’s watches from this period are increasingly hard to find, particularly in such remarkable condition and complete with the original box. With its red‑tipped seconds hand designed specifically for pulse timing and its clever uniform clip, this watch is a wonderful example of purposeful mid‑20th‑century design. A genuine piece of social and medical history, and one you are unlikely to come across again.
