Description Here's my latest and favorite watch design so far. I call it a belt watch, not a pocket watch. I have it shown dangling from my Surplus belt that I'm wearing in various photo's on dA.

The watch face is concealed between the two layers of leather, protecting it. There's a tab above the snap that allows you to pull the watch away from your belt so you can take a glance at the time. It is also able to be held open and put on a night stand or desk.

This one I don't plan on posting on Etsy.com (unless my mind is changed) because, being the first of it's kind, it's kinda... not up to par? Put it is fully functional so I will be using it plenty

Very practical idea. It certainly does away with needing a pocket and chain for my watches!

Marcusstratus In reply to Akai-Ink [2008-02-15 19:43:06 +0000 UTC]

Aye All the pocket watch chains I've used haven't been that great... at least the bits that attach to the watch, or the shirt.

Akai-Ink In reply to Marcusstratus [2008-02-15 20:38:42 +0000 UTC]

Quite so. I've always found it easier to make my own chains and adjust the clips myself to avoid that. Of course, being a woman, I've often found it difficult to wear my watches with certain items, like corsets. Your leatherclad fob, would, by virtue of its armor, be less prone to damage when added to the watch clip I build into my corsets. I may have to have one.

well, I plan to make more ^.^ I still have #12, but are you blue woman?

Akai-Ink In reply to Marcusstratus [2008-02-20 18:46:13 +0000 UTC]

I certainly hope you do. As for blue, I can't say any of my corsets are, but I might be amiable. I'll just have to see what I've got in my stash to make a matching corset, jacket or waistcoat. What might you charge for one of these beasties?

Marcusstratus In reply to Akai-Ink [2008-02-20 20:53:26 +0000 UTC]

I've been charging $75 or so

Akai-Ink In reply to Marcusstratus [2008-02-25 16:44:58 +0000 UTC]

That sounds pretty fair. Having just splurged on several pounds of steel, I'll have to scrounge up the cash, but definitely consider me interested in one.

Ah bother, I was just going to see how much you wanted for it! I see why you'd keep it, very nice.

Marcusstratus In reply to FrockTarts [2008-02-10 02:48:00 +0000 UTC]

well, I was going to make a quote, but now I'm thinking I'd still rather hold onto it because it is most convenient to have a watch again. (this being the first one I've kept out of all my watches)

FrockTarts In reply to Marcusstratus [2008-03-09 02:58:35 +0000 UTC]

If you ever desied to part with it, I've got frist dibs! (Not sure I spelled that right)

Marcusstratus In reply to FrockTarts [2008-03-09 06:56:30 +0000 UTC]

well, whenever someone wants to pay the asking price, it's off my belt. The only reason I'm holding onto it is because it's the first of it's kind and every other one after it will be made better (hopefully). asking price is 75.oo

Funny, that is exactly where my watch gets worn these days. I work as a gardener, so a watch on my wrist gets plenty annoying. Mine is a standard watch with the band cut short and a large eyelet punched in one end. Means I can slip it onto a small carabina or similar and attach to my belt, bag, pant straps.... wherever really. Very handy!

Looks great! Love the simple but good quality look/feel.

Oh wow this is really really neat! nice idea with the belt watch rather than pocket watch...this one you just lift up and look at really. And for those that work in offices or whatever they can take it off and prop it up on the desk, then stick it back on when they leave. Really neat idea, great job.
