pocket watches
Chain-dangling timekeepers
Pocket watches are small timepieces designed to be carried in a pocket rather than worn on the wrist.
Before wristwatches became standard in the early twentieth century, pocket watches were the dominant portable timekeeping device, typically attached to a chain and tucked into a vest or trouser pocket.
They now appear mainly as heirlooms or vintage accessories: His grandfather's pocket watch still kept perfect time.
