"Personal timepieces in the 19th century were usually a pocket watch for men worn on a chain, and a smaller one for women often pinned on the dress. They were made by local watchmakers, who also did repairs. This is a silver pocket watch made in Banff, Banffshire in the 19th century by John Wood, a watch and clockmaker. The back is hinged and the maker's name and trade is written inside the back on a paper label. The watch is quite thick and rounded, it is wound by a key and the numerals are Roman, which was a common style at that period."
