April 18th is National Pocket Watch Day! So, a rather rakish 1906 vintage Elgin Veritas with its three fingered bridge movement is serving.

A smart black leather DaveK Mystery Braid lanyard secures the watch in the jeans watch pocket.
National Pocket Watch Day? Good idea, but by whose decree? I’m involved in a watch & clock appraisal clinic at our local historic park on Saturday. And it was time to decide which pocket watch I would carry. Hmmmmmm! This one! My Hamilton grade 941 which is the hunter cased version of the venerable grade 940, a popular railroad standard pocket watch. I’ll wear it on my late maternal grandfather’s 9-karat Waldemar chain with an 1897 English half-sovereign coin and 14-karat gold pocket knife. I’ll wear it Good Friday (today) on my @DaveK leather mystery braid lanyard.


By the way, I found out that National Watch Day is slated for Thursday, June 19, 2025. Mark it on your calendars.

I think that if you have a Speedy it’s okay to wear it (and post it) whenever you want to 😀👍

OK -- I'll take up the challenge and put this in my pocket today. My paternal grandfather's Waltham Colonial from 1924, Farmer grade. And of course with an @DaveK lanyard 😀

High octane adventures today.



Actually, very low octane. I haven't ridden go karts in years, and they're all electric now!

Day or night it has been a long time since this Newmark made an appearance 🙁
