watch pocket

Vest's small compartment

A watch pocket is a small pocket in a garment designed to hold a pocket watch.

Traditional vests and the waistbands of men's trousers often included watch pockets, sized to fit a watch case snugly.

The small pocket within the front pocket of jeans—now often called a coin pocket—was originally a watch pocket.
