One of the most popular symbols in Irish jewelry, the legend of the Claddagh has it that a Galway native was captured and sold into slavery in North Africa. During that time he was taught goldsmithing, which he excelled at, to the extent that he was offered his freedom, riches, and the daughter of his owner as a wife to stay in North Africa. Instead, he chose to return to Galway where he found his love still waiting for him, even after all their years apart. It was for her that he created the Claddagh- with its heart for love, its crown for loyalty, and its hands for friendship.
Represented here in a beautiful Mullingar Pewter front medallion piece, this Claddagh pocket watch is perfect for anyone who loves the classic, quartz movement pocket watch but with a handsome Irish take. Wonderfully easy to read with its white face, roman numerals, and second hand and presented in a deep green gift box.
