What is this object called?

Pocket watch?

@susanc THANK YOU!

They also used to be called Fob Watches.

But, strictly speaking, the Fob is the chain plus other ornamentation to which it is attached.

That’s also why vests contain those small shallow “pockets” which were specifically created to hold them.

@Buttonstc now i know what to put in my school blazier pocket instead of my phone….

@Buttonstc
Weird how some things develop such tremendous momentum, innit?

I am of the opinion that the world needs more pocket watches.

You can also get a trucker wallet on a chain and a retractable key chain to make a matching set!!

Also known as a fob watch.

A pocket watch, or if you wear it around your neck it is a watch pendant.

@thriftymaid Like this?

@erichw1504 . Hey, that’s just like mine. Love it.

Isn’t that what the fifth pocket in jeans is for?
