gold watches

Gilded time-telling accessories

Gold watches are timepieces made of or plated with gold, traditionally markers of wealth, achievement, or formal occasions.

A gold watch given at retirement became so customary in the mid-twentieth century that getting your gold watch came to mean reaching the end of a career: He put in thirty years and got his gold watch.
