How do you deal with a pocket watch when kilted?

[Jack Daw]

First off, I mainly wear sports kilts, and only infrequently wear a traditional.

I suppose it's a tacit protest to my high tech job, but I usually carry a big old Elgin pocket turnip (per the serial number, made in 1894) on a cheap stainless steel watch fob.

I've been tempted to add a watch pocket and fob attachment hole on the apron of the kilt, but I hesitate to do that.

Anyone have a better suggestion?

There's a fellow on another forum that has a fob attachment (not sewn) to his kilt for his pocket watch. I don't have that for myself, but when I wear a waistcoat with my kilt, I put my pocket watch in one of the small pockets and use a sterling silver double Albert watch chain with fob from which to hang the timepiece.
