It seems not nearly as many people wear wrist watches anymore, what with smart phones being the time teller of choice these days. I seem to be one of those folks who actually can't wear one anyway, not without buying a new battery every two weeks, if it even stays in working order at all. As a solution, the mommster gave me this treasured pocket watch many years ago and I still carry it with me, changing the battery a more normal every 3-4 years instead.

I continue to be inspired by you imagery, thank you for visiting mine. Peace
A beauty and a lovely composition. I like the mistiness. My teenage son uses a pocket watch, he loves them!
You are not alone either. I can't wear a watch and when my friend Mary puts on one, the hands start spinning round and round! Something to do with electrical connectivity, she was never sure. But watches on the wrist don't work for her either.
Beautiful watch!! I do love a beautiful watch and have a couple of beauties to wear when going out (when that used to happen). The battery was always flat when I wanted to wear the watch. In the end I treated myself to a watch which does not need a battery - it keeps going by the movement when I wear the watch. Perfect!!
I love pocket watches! This is so nice. I use a Garmin watch only because I lose my phone every day. Yes, every day. So the watch will locate it for me by making it signal where it is. Sigh. But it's a rechargeable watch, so every few days, I just plug it in and it has a few more days power. I think we have my husband's father's pocket watch. Now I want to find it!
A lovely view of your watch. I don't like carrying my phone all the time, so prior to the lockdown, when I really didn't need a watch, I wore a watch everyday. It's still part of the necessary accessories when I go out.
It's been such fun to see how you have photographed some of your treasures. I still can't figure out the background, even after you explained it to Janet. Regardless, it makes me feel good that this watch has weathered the test of time, so to speak.
lovely timepiece, for sure. i don't know where my good watches are but the cheap ones are all i can find and none of them are working anymore. i like the pocket watch, it looks so cool when you fish it out of your pocket to check the time. nice little treasure you got here, jenn. aces!
