The Hartlepool Monkey Pocket Watch is a contemporary heirloom inspired by tradition, storytelling, and craftsmanship. Handcrafted in solid sterling silver, it features a smooth matte finish that gives the piece understated elegance and modern restraint. The front case is engraved with Mark Lloyd’s sculpted Hartlepool Monkey design — a local legend immortalised in fine metal.
The pocket watch is accompanied by an oxidised sterling silver chain, offering a striking contrast between the deepened tones of the chain and the soft, satin finish of the case. Together, they create a piece that’s tactile, balanced, and unmistakably refined.
Designed and assembled in Hartlepool, it’s an heirloom with a grin — a perfect blend of humour, heritage, and horological artistry.
The Hartlepool Monkey Pocket Watch combines fine silversmithing with the charm of a northern legend. Created by Mark Lloyd Master Goldsmith, it’s a rare fusion of contemporary design and historic storytelling — a pocket watch that celebrates craftsmanship, identity, and time itself.
The case is crafted from solid sterling silver, hand-formed and engraved with Mark’s sculptural interpretation of the famous Hartlepool Monkey. The surface is finished with a fine matte texture, giving the silver a soft, diffused glow that feels both luxurious and understated. Every curve and edge is carefully refined by hand, achieving a smoothness that speaks to traditional craftsmanship.
Attached is an oxidised sterling silver chain, its darker finish providing contrast and depth — a subtle nod to age, heritage, and time passed. The combination of matte and oxidised surfaces gives the design presence and complexity while remaining elegant and timeless.
Inside, the watch carries a precise quartz movement, marrying mechanical reliability with artisanal beauty. Each piece is individually assembled and tested by hand in Mark’s Hartlepool workshop.
This is not just a timepiece — it’s a story you can carry. The legend of the Hartlepool Monkey lives within its design: local pride rendered in silver, built to outlast generations.
The Hartlepool Monkey Pocket Watch is both a collector’s piece and a symbol of place — where craft meets character and every tick tells a tale.
