My grandfather had a beloved Waltham Pocket Watch that was handed down to my dad. It's an heirloom. And it still works! But I need someone to explain to me the madness for this.

I'm starting to work in an area that doesn't allow electronics for reasons. And I still need to keep track of time.
Watches rarely ever fit my wrist, so I've ended up at legitimately needing a pocket watch.

Does anyone know much about mechanical pocket watches? I'm not trusting the AI slop pages I've come across.

Over the last couple of years my son got very into pocket watches and clocks. More recently he has been getting into making paper. Today he used his own stamp and typewriter to make this poem. I found it on my desk just now. What an interesting guy.

Years ago, I was part of a whole fire circle community, and I had a fun Fossil pocket watch that had a moving screen of flames that I would wear at events. It was like a $30 watch.

Found it in a box recently, took it to a watch repair place to get it up and running again. Turns out there was moisture inside and there is damage that cannot be repaired.

Online, used versions are now running about $300.

Good-bye, flame pocket watch, I won't be buying you again.
