Harry Potter Watches
A watch is the one piece of Harry Potter merchandise that is socially invisible until someone looks closely. Deathly Hallows, Time-Turner, Golden Snitch, Dobby and Platform 9¾ designs from The Carat Shop, plus a Snitch watch necklace that hangs rather than straps on.

The designs
- Deathly Hallows — the symbol as the dial, in two versions. The most restrained of the range.
- The Time-Turner — the obvious fit for a watch, since the original is itself a time device.
- The Golden Snitch — the wings framing the dial.
- Dobby — the house-elf on the face.
- Platform 9¾ — the station sign as the dial.
- Snitch watch necklace — a watch in a Snitch case worn on a chain, which doubles as jewellery.
Movement, battery and strap
These are quartz watches with a battery movement, which means they keep time without winding and need a new cell every couple of years — any jeweller or watch counter will change it in minutes. The product page states the case and strap materials for each watch.
Water resistance is the thing to check rather than assume: these are fashion watches, not diving watches. Treat them as splash-resistant at most, take them off before swimming and showering, and do not wear them in a sauna, where heat and steam reach the seals.
As a gift
A watch is the Harry Potter gift that works in an office, which is most of its appeal for an adult fan: the motif is on the dial, not across a jumper. The Deathly Hallows version is the most discreet; the Snitch watch necklace is the one bought as jewellery rather than as a timepiece. Both arrive in their own presentation box, and a note in an envelope with a wax seal can be added to the order for a surcharge.
