About this listen

In this episode, I read “My Watch,” Mark Twain’s humorous tale about a simple mistake that spirals into a full‑blown misadventure in timekeeping. What begins as an innocent attempt to set a pocket watch quickly turns into a cascade of confusion, overconfidence, and expert “repairs” that only make things worse — all told with Twain’s signature wit and self‑mocking charm.
This story is a perfect example of Twain’s ability to turn everyday frustrations into sharp, relatable comedy. Whether you’re discovering his short works for the first time or revisiting a classic, this reading offers a light, entertaining escape into one of Twain’s funniest personal essays.
Part of the Mark Twain Short Story Collection — a growing series of timeless tales read aloud for modern listeners.
