Fancy watches I can take or leave. I always wear a watch, a fairly understated black Skagen is the incumbent, but I don't like the idea of carrying a serious amount of money on my wrist where it can be easily damaged.
I do like clocks though, and my dining hall(!!!)* is home to a lovely longcase clock from the 1750s. It keeps time to about 15 seconds a week, and the movement is a work of art. My house wouldn't feel right without the reassuring tick-tock.
*I use this term legitimately because, modest though my house is, the room does function as both hallway and dining room.
