Watch Worn Like a Cuff Button.
Some of tne smart new motor coats have buttonholes worked in one cuff, and in these cuff-buttonholes are inserted tiny watches which are held in place by a curved projection at the back —something like the back of an ordinary collar button. It is much easier to drop the eyes to one’s cuffs to ascertain the correct time than to stop the automobile and take out a watch depending from a chain or fob. Another convenient watch is the desk watch, which has a thick back, slanted off toward the lower edge so that the watch rests at an angle of 30 degrees. making it much easier to read the time than when the watch face is fiat on the desk top.
