Watch的意思
今天的一则新闻Argentina's former president Cristina Fernandez accused the government of political persecution on Wednesday after testifying in court about alleged irregularities at the central bank that occurred under her watch.
有人说是watch是“岗位”，并以例子做证：
I'm responsible for handling the problems that occur on my watch.
我负责处理出现在我岗位上的问题。

Under Putin’s watch, Russia’s economy is in deep crisis: by the end of 2014, the value of the ruble dropped by roughly half, capital flight was more than twice that of 2013, inflation and interest rates were up, and hard currency reserves had fallen below $400 billion. 本帖最后由 woaini123 于 2016-4-14 18:29 编辑
查遍高阶学习词典的watch词条，只有韦氏高阶和朗文美语高阶词典有个明确的解释，under one's watch 估计一个意思。看来以后学美式英语，韦氏和朗文美式词典是首选。

informal during the time that someone is responsible for a government, organization, etc.:
