Think of a pocket watch and one of two popular images come to mind. The first is of a distinguished –looking gentleman with his vest and the chain of the pocket watch spanning the girth of his waistcoat. The second is of a hypnotist as he has victim focus on the swinging pendulum of the watch. Next thing, the victim is squawking around like a chicken.

But pocket watches are not just for gentlemen and stage magicians anymore. They are finding their way into feminine jewelry on long necklace chains in a nod to Steampunk culture.
These examples are a some recent discoveries on Etsy that feature the pocket watch as a very chic accessory; romantic and reminiscent of time gone by.
