How to wear your watch / fob chains / fobs How to Wear a Fob Chain
How to wear your watch / fob chain / fob is shown below. Always popular in the Victorian to present day times, the fob chain is simple in set-up. One end of the piece has your fob attached and the other, a connector for your watch. The watch is then placed in a trouser or vest or blouse pocket with the fob portion dangling out to show off. Women commonly wore very ornate little fobs such as decorated balls or baskets of flowers or lockets while men today, still wear the heavy machinery fobs that are so collectible along with stone spinner fobs and a variety of other types including fraternal organization fobs.

In looking at the different ways a pocket watch can be worn, I would like to make a suggestion on how to wear one with a strap and fob. I have found that most jeans today just cannot hold a pocket watch of any size, because the (WATCH POCKET) is just to small. So what I have done is make my own strap (longer of course) , and put the watch in my front pocket instead. In this manner I don't have to worry about the watch falling out,and with the glass crystal or if its a Hunting Case watch, (the front cover) facing toward my leg , I have had no problems of breakage this way. I wear a pocket watch every day to work,and have done so for almost twenty years. Thank you !
