Watching one of the scenes on the previous post on "Seabiscuit" movie video, reminded me of the time I used to see my grandfather pull his watch out of his pocket to look at the time!! I can still remember this harmonious ritual perfectly in syntony with the old times' slow pace of life !... Who would ever think of someone, nowadays, taking the time to do so ??....
So, in order to make my students have a break and not to be listening to their watch ticking out the time for their scheduled daily activities, I suggest taking this time to improve their English while bringing back memorable times when their grandpa might also have walked down the street on a respectful well-dressed suit and hat showing that dangling shiny chain out of his pocket...
Instructions for Wearing a Pocket Watch
By Susan Reynolds, eHow Contributor
I want to do this! What's This? Pulling out a pocket watch is elegantly old-fashioned.
A pocket watch is an accessory normally worn by men. Pocket watches were popular among wealthy men at the turn of the twentieth century, before wrist watches became widely available. Wearing a pocket watch today gives an outfit a formal look. There are many styles of pocket watches, from genuine antiques to more modern, industrial designs. The instructions for wearing pocket watches follow traditional rules.
1-Choose a chain that suits most of your outfits. It could be a thick gold chain, a thin silver one, or a brass one. A rule of thumb is to match your jewelry metals, that is, don't mix gold and silver.
2-Hook one end of the chain to the loop on the pocket watch, and connect the other end to a T-bar.
3-Place the T-bar behind one of your jacket or vest buttonholes.
4-Slide your watch into an inner vest pocket on the same side as your non-dominant hand.
