Pocket Watches 

A Pocket Watch is a watch that is made to be carried in the pocket.

They were the most common type of watch from their development in the 16th century. Wristwatches became popular after World War 1, during which a transitional design, Trench Watches, were used by the military. Pocket watches generally have an attached chain to allow them to be secured to a waistcoat, lapel, or belt loop. This prevents them from being dropped.

Watches were also mounted on a short leather strap or fob. A long chain would have been cumbersome or likely to catch on things. This fob could also provide a protective flap over their face and crystal. Women’s watches were normally of this form, with a watch fob that was more decorative than protective.

Chains

Chains were frequently decorated with a Silver or Enamel pendant, often carrying the arms of some club or society, which by association also became known as a fob. Also common are fasteners designed to be put through a buttonhole and worn in a jacket or  waistcoat, this sort being frequently associated with and named after Train conductor.
