Pocket watch

A pocket watch (or pocketwatch) is a watch that is made to be carried in a pocket. It's a watch you carry, because a wristwatch is uncomfortable for you and you think that the watch on your phone

doesn't look good. Maybe you want to appear interesting, cool, classy, rich or as though you time travelled from before the 20th century.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
