Pocket watches made it easier for workers to keep track of their schedules, and organize their days and time much more efficiently. Bosses could keep track on performance ratings and deadlines without wall clocks. Businessmen could keep track of business meeting lengths, and define their travel time, so that they could be accurately compensated for their time. The invention of the pocket watch made it easier to monitor the time for everyone.
At that time, pocket watches came in two varieties. There was the hunter cased and the open faced. The hunter cased pocket watches came with a cover, and looked similar to a ladies? compact. You may have seen one during the Victorian era period movies when a man pulls out his pocket watch, opens it, checks the time, and puts it back. As the name implies, open faced pocket watches do not have a cover.
When wristwatches came along, pocket watches became less popular. Wristwatches were made and they were smaller and more compact. The pocket watch was seen as bulky and less convenient than a wrist watch.
Pocket watches have become more valuable, as some companies started to give out pocket watches to retirees. The trendiness of pocket watches have swayed along the years. Some people collect them, while others consider them to be a ?status symbol.?
