Everite (H. Samuel) Cocktail Watch
Why We Love It
This vintage Everite cocktail watch has a dazzling textured chrome-plated finish that makes it stand out among the stock of vintage Everite watches still out there. We love what a watch like this stands for; when you’re wearing this timepiece, you’re living in a moment that calls for a drink (be it a cocktail or mocktail). What a fun implication! This watch is purely for the purpose of fun and that’s what vintage watches are ultimately all about.
About the Brand
Everite was a subsidiary of H. Samuel, a jewelry company founded in 1862 that was eventually bought by the Signet Group. These were uncomplicated and reliable watches, but all the while chic being designed through a jewelry lens. There was a great variety that was produced over the years. Vintage Everite watches remain a fun, entry-level option to those looking to get their feet wet in the vintage watch world and mechanical watches.

There is wear on the underside of the bracelet that is negligible and unable to be seen when being worn. Similarly, there is some stiffness in some of the links in the bracelet that does not at all compromise the piece’s wearability. Additionally, there are no signs of this piece ever having been polished. The movement is accurate and maintains great time-keeping ability throughout the day.
