    I am a pocket watch guy.
    Specifically Railroad Pocket Watches.

    American Railroad Pocket Watches were the acme of timekeeping instruments in their day.

    Today's watch is my 21J Illinois 60 Hour Bunn Special which was made in 1926.

    This mechanical watch loses about 2 seconds per day.

    If you use a straight razor, you really ought to use a pocket watch and fountain pen! (That's my Sailor 1911 pen from Japan.)
