Since the launch of Peaky Blinders in 2013, Cillian Murphy's character Tommy Shelby has influenced fashion trends, particularly with his pocket watch. The watch, believed to be a Waltham railroad pocket watch, has seen a 100% increase in online searches following the announcement of a spin-off film. Experts note a gentle resurgence in pocket watch interest, highlighting a broader appreciation for mechanical objects. Shows like Peaky Blinders reintroduce such items in a character-driven manner, contributing to their renewed appeal in both everyday life and Haute Horlogerie.
""There has been a gentle but noticeable return of interest in pocket watches. They are never going to be mainstream again, but that is not really the point.""
""What I have noticed is a broader shift in how people are thinking about objects in general. There is a growing appreciation for things that feel more considered, more mechanical, more real in a way.""
""Shows like Peaky Blinders have a strong influence because they reintroduce objects like pocket watches in a way that feels natural and character driven, rather than nostalgic for nostalgia's sake.""
