Why The Difference?

May 2nd, 2008 by admin

I have recently been looking into purchasing a pocket watch, and looking at pictures of old pocket watches I notice that different types of watches have the stems located in different places, and I am wondering why this is the case. Why don’t they all have the stems in the same location, wouldn’t you think that would have been a standard thing? Yet some I have seen have the stems at the six o’clock position, some at the twelve o’clock position, and some are at the three o’clock position. Does anyone know why this was done? They must have had a reason.
