Pocket watch value checker & identifier
Point your camera at any antique or vintage pocket watch and Minti helps identify the brand, movement, and case material, then shows what it's worth from recent eBay sold listings. Track condition, organize your collection, and sell it, all in one app.
How much is your pocket watch worth?
Ask prices tell you what someone hopes to get. Minti checks what comparable watches are actually selling for right now by pulling values from recent eBay sold listings, so a common key-wind piece, a jeweled railroad-grade movement, or a gold-cased antique all get a value grounded in real sales.

Not sure exactly what you're holding? Minti's AI helps identify the brand, movement, and case material, then matches it to a priced record.

- Helps identify the movement type and the case material, gold versus gold-filled
- Auto-fills attributes so your entry stays clean and consistent
What drives the value
Pocket watch value comes down to a few things. Brand and grade matter most, so a railroad-grade movement or a high jewel count sits above a plain, low-jewel piece. Case material is next, since a solid gold case is worth far more than a gold-filled one that looks similar. Then comes the originality of the movement and dial, and finally the working condition, because a running watch with matching original parts beats one that is not working or has replacements.
- Brand and grade, including railroad-grade movements and high jewel counts
- Case material, since solid gold outvalues gold-filled at a glance
- Originality of the movement and dial, and honest working condition
Organize your watch collection
