I prefer a pocket watch with a chain hanging from a vest pocket. It gives one that robber baron look.

A few years ago, I took a creative writing class at the local community college. The professor was a retired Army lieutenant colonel who'd written several mysteries set on Mississippi River steam boats shortly after the Civil War.

He walked into class the first night dressed like a riverboat gambler, complete with pocket watch and gold chain. He looked like he'd stepped right out of Tombstone or Maverick.

I love my 1926 Elgin pocket watch - keeps good time and belonged to my wife’s grandfather.
