David, I am so sorry I misunderstood your question the other night. In former times it was unheard of for any gentleman to be without his waistcoast and, of course, that is where he carried his watch. Today, in warmer times, we set aside the waistcoat, but your question was: what about the watch?

Wrist watches have taken over the world, but some of us still like to be old-fashioned at times and wear what our fathers and grandfathers wore in the manner in which it was worn.

This is a poor pic, I realize, but it's a lovely Roman gold fob worn with the T-bar stuffed hrough the button hole from the front and the chain looping down in front of the lapel to the watch in the left breast jacket pocket.



If all you have is the watch, chain and fob (no T-bar) then stuff the fob through the button-hole from the back and the chain will hang down behind and on into the pocket to the watch (that's behind the puffed hanky, if you will).

Edit: oh no, I just re-read this and discovered four or five in agreement. Yessss.
