Not the last on earth; there are at least two of us

I wear one with a vest; sometimes just for fun; other times just to exercise the watches that I have - fat ones, thin ones, old ones and new ones.

Mechanical, quartz, tuning-fork, even an automatic pocket watch.

Cheers!

PS - do you suppose pendant (cufflink, brooch) watches would sustain a thread???

PPS - never thought of myself as artist or dandy, but looking back at some old photos ... maybe there's something to your theory!

Does Anyone or Anyone you Know Use a Pocket Watch...

By: SALMANPK : January 2nd, 2015-00:07

as a daily beater? Do you think the act of using a pocket watch as a daily watch has become totally extinct? I ask this because I would like to meet the last person on Earth who uses a pocket watch as a daily beater and collects them. I would like to ask ...

That would be nice...

I've been asking myself nearly the same question Salman. I think it could be very nice for a watch fan to wear a pocket watch from time to time, especially when we see the craftmanship available and the complication we can get for a lower budget than wris...

I very rarely see anyone with a mechanical watch much less a pocket watch. (nt)

The funny part of this question...

Hello Salman, all the best for the new year to you and your family, btw!!! I asked myself this question more than once - even more so, because I probably still have more PW's compared to WW's. But what I find really funny, most people today use their "wat...

I do find ironic, that a cell phone has replaced a wristwatch which replaced..

A pocket watch.

I do it when I wear a vest

By: donizetti : January 2nd, 2015-06:39

which in wintertime is about 1 to 2 times a week. I always wear a wristwatch in addition though. I do have two nice watch chains that I inherited but usually I just slip the pocket watch in the vest pocket. In summer I don't wear three piece suits so then...

Thank You Andreas :-)

Do you think you are the last person on Earth who still uses his pocketwatch? If not then can you imagine what would go through your mind if you were? If it is not too much trouble would love to see pics of your pocketwatches and chain. Have a Great Weeke...

I think there will always be some who take some pleasure

in a slightly anachronistic touch to their clothing, or indeed their whole way of life. So I am not worried of being the last one on Earth ... Pocket watches are also nice conversation pieces - remember the second act of Die Fledermaus, for example? Peopl...

Last person I knew was my grandfather....

By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 2nd, 2015-07:48

That was more than 3 decades ago....and since then it all went downhills for me :) Even my grandfather turned to wrist watches later Today wearing pocket watch can be perceived as pomposy or vanity On other hand only people I think nowdays that would look...
