There's something so beautiful about them-holding them-they fit so perfectly in your hand. And then there's the little pockets in the vests or on the pants that the watch fit in, and of course, the chain. I also loved the little watches that were pinned to women's dresses....Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982370018359352543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-17915895356774658052016-03-10T12:10:20.947-05:002016-03-10T12:10:20.947-05:00It's getting hard to find someone to mend a wr...It's getting hard to find someone to mend a wristwatch if you have one, too. I don't wear a watch, and I often don't remember to check my phone either.

My watch is easy to find, right there on my wrist.<br /><br />I truly dislike DST, and I think Victor Hugo nailed the incongruence of the idea in his quote.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-48291218468125148862016-03-10T08:02:03.471-05:002016-03-10T08:02:03.471-05:00So many thoughts about this.

Like Carol, I no longer wear a watch either with my cell phone always at the ready. But my most nostalgic gift in high school from my future husband was an ornate watch. It was considered a "personal" gift back then, and I learned later that he felt required to get my parents' permission before giving it to me.

Actually I made quite a bit of money by selling watches with intricately beaded watch bands when that was the fad. I gladly gave up my watch when I realized I no longer needed it because I kept a cell phone. You have shared some interesting facts here. But when "Terry" switches the time on all of the clocks in the house this weekend..he will be swearing at our former state governor who pushed to have our time zone changed and kept daylight savings time.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.com
