The Watch That Time Forgot: An Eaglemoss Archive Discovery
For over a century, the RMS Titanic has occupied a space between history and legend—a symbol of Edwardian grandeur and the enduring human spirit. This pocket watch was destined to be a tribute to that legacy, crafted by the renowned Eaglemoss Collections to capture the elegance of the "Ship of Dreams."
However, due to the sudden closure of Eaglemoss, this specific edition was pulled from the tides of history before it could reach global retail. It never saw a standard store shelf, effectively becoming a "lost" collectible.
Featuring a classic Roman numeral dial and a beautifully embossed hunter-style case, this timepiece feels like a relic recovered from a first-class cabin. It isn't just a way to keep time; it’s a connection to a bygone era and a rare find for those who know that some of the best treasures are the ones that almost stayed hidden.
Add a piece of "unreleased" history to your collection before it disappears again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official Eaglemoss collectible?
Yes. This pocket watch was developed by Eaglemoss Collections as part of a planned historical series. Because Eaglemoss ceased operations before this specific line was fully distributed, it has become a "lost" collectible, making it significantly rarer than standard mass-market Titanic memorabilia.
What is the watch made of?
The watch features a high-quality polished metal alloy casing with a silver-tone finish. The front cover is intricately embossed with a 3D relief of the RMS Titanic and traditional nautical scrollwork. The face is protected by a scratch-resistant mineral crystal.
Does the watch actually keep time?
Absolutely. While it is a stunning display piece, it is a fully functional timepiece. It utilizes a precision quartz movement for accurate timekeeping, powered by a standard watch battery that can be easily replaced by any jeweler.
How do I open and set the watch?
To Open: Simply press the button on the top of the crown to release the spring-loaded front cover.
To Set Time: Gently pull the crown (the knob at the top) upward until it clicks, turn it to your desired time, and press it back down to start the movement.
Is a chain included?
Yes, each pocket watch comes with a matching detachable lobster-claw chain, allowing you to wear it traditionally in a waistcoat or display it securely in a collection case.
Why is this considered a "Never Released" item?
This item is part of "dead stock" from the Eaglemoss archives. While it was designed and manufactured for retail, the company’s closure prevented it from hitting major store shelves. Finding these in "New Old Stock" condition is a rare opportunity for Titanic enthusiasts and horology collectors alike.
