Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
"Our family's most prized possession: a Beaumont Chrono-master Elite. It's been a Simpson heirloom ever since it was stolen off a dead body at Gettysburg... In 1982."

First Appearance: "A Father's Watch"


The Simpson's Pocket Watch was a pocket watch that was the Simpson family's most prized possession.

History[edit]

In order to prove that Bart's a great kid, Grampa gives him this old watch, the most prized possession of the family. Bart shows up at Homer's sale and shows off his watch, much to Homer's annoyance. He then starts going around with his new found confidence thanks to the watch and, as a result, he starts changing his lifestyle. However, the watch's chain breaks while he is on top of a mountain and the watch falls down the precipice. He tries to find it with Milhouse's help but they have no success.

Later, Grampa calls Bart and tells him about an interview for an article for a magazine that will feature a picture of the watch and that will take place the next day, much to Bart's desperation due to having lost the watch. Homer sells his unsold trophies at a pawn shop where he finds out that Milhouse brought the watch there after being mad at Bart for throwing rocks at him in order to find it, and buys the watch.

Homer wants to brag about having the watch, but when he approaches Bart's room, he overhears him cry. To cheer him up, he tells him that the reason he was like this was because of him and those who came before: his parents. Bart and Grampa make the photos for the article together, right before Bart breaks the watch when it ends up on the floor, and Grampa strangles him.
