Rare and scarce pocket watch chains were worn by most all men. Made in a variety of different styles.

They could be made of gold for use with top-tier gold watches, gold plated, or silver. They could even be woven hair.

Fitted with metal findings, and given as a gift from a bride to a groom during the Victorian era. Regardless of what they were made of, most had a specific type of catch with a curved top and side hook used to hold the watch on one end. The other end could have one of several types of mechanisms used to hold the chain in place on a vest. Some were hooks or loops to fit around a button; others were toggle types that fit through a small hole (finished like a button hole but specifically meant to hold a watch chain).

Some chains also have a decorative fob. Once fastened to a gentleman's vest, the chain would drape like a garland to the watch pocket where the timepiece was held. The storage of the watch in a vest pocket, in fact, is the origin of the name "pocket" watch.
