Yup..Ya gotta love those old timepieces. A real thing of beauty! I used a pocket watch when I was 16. I was an underground hardrock miner. Drilling and blasting. We carried ours in a small can you had to unscrew to get at the watch. Pretty sure from what I remember it was part of a dustmask? It was hard duty at 2000 feet underground...
