Slightly off topic, I know, but as we are talking about pocket watches-----. Do you know which side of you waistcoat to carry your watch in? Now this in not carved in stone, so don't get all fired up here! Well, we were always taught that one should be able to write and tell the time at the same time, so if you write with your right hand, then it is usual to carry your pocket watch in your right waistcoat pocket ,so you can reach across with your left hand comfortably. You write with your left hand? Then the watch is in your left pocket.

Great pics! You are an obvious kilt wearer!

Sandford and Jock,

Thanks for enlightening me on these formal fobs, I was completely unaware of them. I knew that the chain wasn't used and had been told that time pieces weren't to be visible at formal events (checking one's watching being a sign that one had other things to do or was impatient for the event to be over).

It is always a good thing to start the day knowing something you didn't yesterday!

Cheers

Glad to be of help Jamie. Actually a discreet thin gold watch chain going from pocket to pocket,via a button hole on the waistcoat, is perfectly acceptable for evening dress these days.
