ENGRAVING

Initials & Monograms: Regardless of which you prefer, the characters you enter into the engraving area will be engraved in the Exact Order you type them. Initials are engraved in the standard order of first, middle, and last name.  For example, John F. Kennedy's initials would be JFK.  Monograms are engraved with the first letter of the recipient's last name placed in the center and made larger than the other two letters. Accordingly, John F Kennedy's monogram would be ^JK^F. All Initial or Monogram engraving is done using capital letters regardless of whether you type in lower case letters or not.

• Straight Initials: First-Middle-Last name initials are in capital letters and can be used either on the front cover, back cover or inside cover. Note: Initials are placed vertically within the shield area or crest of pocket watches and will have no periods.
   
• Monograms are First-Last-Middle name initials and are available in either Straight, Circular or Interlocking styles.

Note: Perfect alignment cannot be guaranteed on small oval, crests or shields typically found on pocket watch front covers.

Recommendations:

Depending on brand and whenever possible, we suggest engraving on the INSIDE cover of pocket watches. Although this process is more difficult for our engravers, it is the traditional location for pocket watches because it protects the engraving from unnecessary scratches and wear. You can always expect the engraving to be exactly the same quality regardless of the location you choose.

Do Not type in ALL CAPITAL letters using a script font. As you can see by the example, using all capital letters in script creates an unusual result.  CORRECT =Script   INCORRECT = SCRIPT
