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 wriswatches.
But It is not very practical to use and I think I would use one only if I wear a 3-piece suit and put that watch in the inner jacket's pocket. Quite rare for me to say the least 
But that would be nice!
Cheers, Mark
Does Anyone or Anyone you Know Use a Pocket Watch...
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 ...

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...
Lol how true :)
Nice to read you here again Sincerely Damjan P.S. All the best in 2015 to you and all yours
My Dear Friend...
So nice to see your post here and thank you for your kind wishes, Wishing You and Yours the Best Year Possible in 2015 :-) When I read your post I really had a good laugh :-), would love to see your pocket watches of course. What do you imagine the last p...
I do it when I wear a vest
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....
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...
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! Cazalea PS - do you suppose pendant...
I'm very impressed
Tought that number is in three digits now I think it is four digits :) Yours D
Great line up! :)
Really like the two Hamilton! :) Thank you for sharing these Pocket Watches! Best Blomman
I wore my grandfather's pocket watch daily for years in my pants pocket.
It was (and is) an old Omega. I just stuck it into my right pocket and went about my business, pulling it out when I wanted to know the time. Every step I took (and I was a student at the time, so I walked a lot and ran when late for class), it slapped ag...
I agree...
Heavy Duty Pieces Indeed and especially significant since it connected you with you Grandfather, I never got to know mine, so I wish I had something of his as a heirloom. If you have a picture of it handy, would love to see it. S
Yes, my son ...
He wear a Minerva pocket watch as his beater but he owns several (Tissot, Zenith and Omega). Go figure, despite his young age he is hooked on analog records, loves Beatles etc. Cheers, Nilo
When a pocket watch is more appropriate
It's been a long time but I have returned. Some years ago I posted this item and think that it is still appropriate here. Please excuse the redundancy. Keep smiling Harv
