Complete chatelaines and fully fitted boxes with original or compatible contents have fascinated this speaker for decades. Following research on watch chatelaines, a further study has been undertaken on the manner of wearing watches. One interesting feature here has been the watch pocket – as part of an outfit, as an item to be worn, or for use at night. All these ideas will be covered in this talk.
Genevieve Cummins, a Sydney based Paediatric Surgeon, is the co-author with Nerylla Taunton, of Chatelaines: Utility to Glorious Extravagance (1994), and the author of Antique Boxes – Inside and Out (2005), and How the Watch was Worn: A Fashion for 500 Years (2010).
