Fob watch

A pocket watch, sometimes known as a fob watch, was a watch carried in one's pocket, frequently worn on Earth on waistcoats and jackets during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
== The Doctor's pocket watches ==
The First Doctor wore a watch on a short ribbon and pendant fob in his beige tweed waistcoats' outer right pockets. (TV: An Unearthly Child-The Tenth Planet, The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, Twice Upon A Time) At one time in his life, the Seventh Doctor used this same Hunter watch. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire)

The Fourth Doctor recurrently wore a watch across his waistcoats, with dchain threaded through a buttonhole (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) or hanging loose. (TV: Horror of Fang Rock) He used it on Ribos for hypnotic suggestion. (TV: The Ribos Operation)
The Sixth Doctor had a silver watch on a silver chain in his coat pocket whilst traversing the infrastructure of Space Station Camera, using it hypnotically on a deranged Jamie McCrimmon.

More commonly, he wore a double-chained pocket watch on one of several styles and colours, held in his outer waistcoat pockets with chain threaded through a buttonhole. (TV: The Twin Dilemma, The Trial of a Time Lord) It was gold-tone with an enamel-painted cover. After it too was used in an attempt at hypnosis on Necros, its movement was accidentally broken by Peri Brown, who promised to replace it. (TV: Revelation of the Daleks) The Seventh Doctor carried this watch in his jackets' outer-left breast pocket, on a silver-tone cord chain clipped to the buttonhole in his lapel. During his travels with Ace, it featured a digital display. (TV: Silver Nemesis, Survival)
At the end of his life, the Seventh Doctor carried a different, silver-tone watch in his waistcoat, its chain looped through a buttonhole, which he kept along with several others. When opened, it revealed a traditional analogue clock face and played subtle music. This watch was stolen along with the Doctor's other possessions by Chang Lee after the Doctor had apparently been killed, but was later returned to the Eighth Doctor when Lee and he parted ways.

(TV: Human Nature / The Family of Blood, Utopia)
