Why This Watch Matters If this watch looks familiar, it’s probably because you have seen the wristwatch version from the same decade on the HODINKEE Shop before. The movement in th is watch is different, as this is just a standard single-button chronograph pocket watch with an hour-track that doubles as a 12-hour register. This watch is pretty cool due to its oversized case (52mm) and well-balanced dial layout with blue and red accents. Perfect for a day at the races.
