Pocket watch[edit]
Yeah, you don't find too many people who carry a pocket watch any more. The slightly ironic thing is that I got the watch when I was working in a factory because they wouldn't let you wear a wrist watch due to the chance of it getting caught on a moving part and pulling your hand into the machinery. So this type of watch that's often associated with three piece suits and such, was being worn by someone in a blue collar job in a factory. I left that job years ago but the watch has stayed with me.
