Reply With QuoteGood question and I'm keen to hear what people come up with. Unhelpfully, my initial thought is what does a modern wristwatch look like let alone pocket watch. Most new watches today are riffs of designs decades or centuries old.
I've never owned a pocket watch, mainly because I think that the dials and hands look like they come from the 19th century. Are the modern looking specimen around?
This is as modern as I've ever seen:

Always thought the Mondaine ones were quite nice - a modern design classic?
Tissot are one of the few brands I am aware of that make a fair few pocket watches. Not sure what your definition of modern is though.
If you fancy selling everything you own, Richard Mille do the RM20.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Interesting non the less.

Take a look at some American railroad watches, particularly the movements, and you'll soon forget about "modern".
