Probably. Although I have no idea how much something like that would cost. Maybe you could find a watch repair place and discuss this with them before making a purchase, just to make sure getting the watch fixed wouldn't be cost prohibitive.

I own an old pocket watch myself, that I have hung on a gold chain as a pendant and wear sometimes. I do love it.

The key is a watch repair person that knows old watches. Check with local jewelers to see if they have such a person, or look in the yellow pages for watch repair and go have a heart to heart, before you buy your pendant. Then take it in to be spiffed up.

I actually think your best course of action is to find the watch repair person first and get your pendant through them.

I wore a nurse's watch on a figaro chain for a long time. I wish i knew what happened to it, but it kept fine time so that's an option.

A local jeweler who deals in estate jewelry might be your fastest route to locating a watch repair person knowledgeable in repairing older watches (or might be a source of pendant watches themselves). I think a mechanical watch has a reasonable likelihood of being repairable.

I'd take printouts of the pictures to a watch repair service and ask them if they have the technology.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

I went ahead and bought this one. The description says it works "for days at a time", which is probably good enough because I won't be wearing it every day.

I also bought these little earrings.
