Memories Of A Pocket Watch
It is very common to look at an object and be brought back to the time of it’s acquisition. The piece I am about to showcase does just that.
This past winter my ex and I visited Chicago for the holidays. There cocooned in her bed whilst a heater warmed the room, we lay quietly in the company of a long haired cat between us purring. It was a wonderfully perfect morning where we had nothing to do but surf the web on our computers and sip coffee.
At this time my obsession with pocket watches had grown to a feverish pitch and I remember her being good enough to put up with my constant “What about this one? What about this one? What about this one?” questions. I finally found an Igraham Biltmore watch which was one of the “dollar watches” of the ’20′s/30′s. It is really cheaply made but still ticks and will always bring me back to that wonderful time we spent in Chicago during the holidays.
In the end, having good memories and recollection of better times are always the best things to look back on.
Thankfully, I will always have something to remind me of them.

Pocket watches are often associated with memories of people who have been a part of our earlier lives.
I still have my great uncle’s pocket watch – very sentimental.
