watch chains
Vest pocket accessories
Watch chains are decorative metal chains used to secure a pocket watch to clothing, typically attached at one end to the watch and at the other to a buttonhole, belt loop, or vest pocket.
They were essential accessories in the era before wristwatches became standard, preventing loss of valuable timepieces while also serving as status symbols.
A watch chain might include a decorative fob or small ornament hanging from it.
