pocket-watch
Vest-dangling time-teller
A pocket-watch is a watch designed to be carried in a pocket rather than worn on the wrist, typically attached to a chain.
Before wristwatches became standard in the early twentieth century, pocket-watches were the dominant form of portable timepiece: He checked his grandfather's pocket-watch.
Now largely a collector's item or fashion accessory.
