Watches Hidden
Years Ago
Eddie Abraham says that the
wearing of the watch in tho
pocket began early In the seven
teenth century when the owner
hid it reluctantly from the eyes
and snatching hands of des
pollers With the restoration oft
the monarchy the pocket watch
retained the simple round or
oval form It had assumed and
which was still favored by men
Fobs and fob chains however
became elaborate but such de-
coration as appeared on the
watch itself did nothing to make
it inconvenient for carrying In
the pocket
Where precious stones were
used these were carefully set
Into the case so they would not
protrude and wear away the
pocket lining Mr Abraham
says adv
