The Pocket Watch

Can you think of anything more quaint than a pocket watch? Can you still imagine a man reaching into his pocket and pulling out a watch to see what time it is? Hard to imagine, huh. This act goes back to a time when time was something different from what it is today---when 20 minute sermons seemed to last 2 hours and Sunday afternoons were 8 hours long. I say pulling a pocket watch into the light is an elegant act, a stylish gesture that should stand the test of time, almost an act of rebellion by today's standards of decimating time. What time did you say it was?
