Does anyone know where to purchase a Braille wound up pocket watch not battery operated
Thanks

Check etsy.com. I saw one on there for around$140. Mechanical, analog, vintage nib ,17 jewels nickel chrome. They have a search bar. I would cut and paste if I could figure it our on a phone.

The only wind-up pocket watches I'm finding are antiques on eBay. As of Thursday 30 June 2022, here's an item described as an AFB gold electroplated watch selling for $260:

$1


Here's a listing for another AFB watch for $245, although this one looks to be stainless steel. (I'm sighted, by the way, so I'm looking at the seller's images.)

$1


Even if an eBay listing describes a watch as running, I'd suggest being prepared to take the watch to a good watch repair shop that deals with antique watches and high-end automatics and wind-ups.

And here's an r/Blind post from 2019 also asking for a windup pocket watch:$1

Good luck!

Edit: I misheard your post.

No problem.

I’ve heard of the Bradley watch, you might wanna look into it.

I don’t think it’s battery operated, and I don’t think it’s a wind up watch, but it uses magnets to tell the time.

the Bradley is battery powered.
It's a very nice watch though
