Cool Clothes: Pocket Watch

Pocket watches first became popular back in the 16th century, but lost their popularity as the wristwatch became more prevalent around the time of World War I. Funny sidenote...apparently wristwatches were viewed as feminine when they first came out. Anyway, back to the the pocket watch...it is typically worn with a vest and has a corresponding chain to prevent it from being damaged from being dropped or lost. It made a slight comeback in the '70s and '80s when 3-piece suits regained popularity, but the hype didn't last too long. Needless to say....I'M BRINGIN' BACK THA POCKET WATCH!! And I'm not rockin' it with 3-piece suits. lol. Let's be a little different. I think these things are pretty sweet though. I mean...how smooth is it to whip a fancy gold watch out of your pocket to tell the time? Especially when people have been looking at the chain the whole time you've ben talking to them thinking, "I wonder what's on the end of that chain and what it looks like?" lol. I've always wanted one, so if anyone would like to get me a nice engraved gold pocket watch *cough* then go right ahead. ;)
