[Class 43] A device for carrying wrist or pocket-watches suspended in the manner of "sports" watches comprises a pocket, carrying band or carrying plate to which the watch is secured by a holding loop or tongues embracing one or both eyes of the watch, together with a separate carrying strap on the pocket carrying band or carrying plate. In one form, Figs. 1-3, the watch is held within a pocket consisting of a back 4 and a front 1 with a viewing aperture 2, the sides and top being left open but secured together by a strap 8 passing through holes 7 in the pocket and also through holes 9 in a metal or leather loop which passes through one eye of the watch to hold it In other forms the loop may be made as an extension of the back 4 and may be secured by a special clip in place of the holes 9; or the upper edges of the pocket may be sewn together except for an aperture admitting the carrying strap which carries inside the pocket a stud bearing the loop for attaching the watch. Fig. 14 shows a modification, in which 20 is the carrying band, and 19 is the holding loop engaging the eyes 11, 11a of the watch. In yet another form, the watch is suspended in an aperture in a plate 24, by means of metal clips 27, 27a engaging with the eyes 11, 11a.
