I belong a yahoogroup and Colleen Formby had this info on period pocket watches... worth passing on ...
"Please be aware that those (knitted or crocheted) watch pockets are not to be worn; rather, they are for hanging on the wall or bedpost. A period watch needs to be kept upright in order for it to work, so if you lay it down at night when you take it off, it will tend to stop running. We just had a couple of people at a field trip we took who found that out for the first time...they went home and tried keeping their period watches upright, and found that they no longer stopped at night!"
