Pocket watches with a kilt?

**McMurdo** · 17th December 07, 10:14 AM

Years ago I had a Harley Davidson Pocket watch that came with a chain, and a fob to keep it on your belt, it broke one day when two girls were taking my pants off and it fell

It was great watch for riding the motorcycle and when I wasn't I could use it as a pocket watch, wish I still had that watch.

I don't ride a motorcycle with a kilt on, that just ain't gonna happen ever.

I love pocket watches. I haven't worn a wristwatch in over a decade, so I've had a lot of pocket watches (ask sorcererdale, he's fixed a few of them!) I've found various ways to carry them. On my Pittsburgh Kilt I had a custom watch pocket sewn to the inside apron. I'm not very fond of the pouch on the belt for myself.

As for keeping it in the sporran, there's two things. One, an old-fashioned fob to make it easier to fish out, or a chain with a clip that would normally clip to the belt, but in this case to the edge of the sporran. The only downside with keeping the watch in the sporran is I keep my car keys in there too, and they'd scratch up the case of a nice watch. If I ever get around to making myself a day sporran, I'm going to stitch a watch pocket into the top back inside.

Daaaaang, If you decide to get a Thorfinn, Turpin can easily add a compartment for the pocket watch in addition to a cell phone compartment.

I too like a pocket watch better than a wristwatch it looks stylish and for me the larger face is a must.
I have found that it is a simple matter to sew a pocket inside the apron of my kilt to hold the watch and run a chain with a clip type end under my belt and clipped to my kilt to secure it. Q.E.D.! When I wear a waistcoat it then of course resides within the pockets there.
