I bought a pocket watch finally in early 2017. I'd wanted one for some time. Since I was working as an over-the-road driver I figured it'd be a good idea since I sat driving most of the time. I was surprised at the number of people I'd run across who had never seen one before. I'm currently 67 and knew a few elders who carried one when I was growing up. The most surprising thing was the number of young people who couldn't tell time by it.🤷🏼♂️ I mostly wear Dickies shirts that have two pockets and I'll keep the watch in the right one with the chain going to the eyelet in the flap, across to the other pocket or to the top button hole of the shirt. Pulling it out is a really good conversation starter.

I’ve seen some chains referred to as railroad style chains that have a circular clasp on the end. How would this be worn? My first thought was it clasped to a button on the vest.
@my19284 жыл бұрын
Hi Edward, I can’t speak specifically to the Railroad Style name but your description of the circular clasp sounds familiar, and similar to something that I have. It is likely that this clasp style was preferred amongst those that worked on the railway because it was more secure than say a t-bar. Additionally, that clasp would have made it possible to be worn with or without a vest/waistcoat. IE- a universal design that could be worn via a loop on a pair of overalls as well as the buttonhole on a vest/waistcoat. Id love to explore this question more and may make a video regarding the different clasp styles. Thanks for your great question, and thanks for watching.

Hi Nikole, There are several options you can consider as an addition to your dresses. One of the most common ways to wear a pocket watch with a dress is to wear it around your neck just like you would a necklace. Additionally, you could look into a Nurses Watch Pin. The watch itself is smaller and lighter and can be pinned to your dress. The watch face is also created inversely so that you don't have to remove the watch to check the time. Beyond that, it becomes difficult to wear one without pockets. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

Another option- if you are wearing a belt with your dress- is to get a leather pouch that fits the pocket watch. Some watches actually come with a stiff leather pouch that has built in cuts for the belt to slide through. You could then wear the watch and pouch on its own or attach a watch chain to the belt.
