The “Dickens Chain,” named for the famous British author, had a toggle in the middle and two chains that looped to either waistcoat pocket across the belly. One of the chains held the pocket watch, while at the other end was a small key used to wind and set the watch, before the ‘stemwinder’ was invented. The toggle usually had some small charm dangling from a shirt length of chain.
