It's called the watch pocket, according to Levi Strauss & Co. It's been around as long as jeans have, and it was originally meant to protect the wearer's pocket watch. It's been given many informal names since, including the match pocket, the coin pocket, the condom pocket, and the ticket pocket.

The small pocket is actually called a watch pocket because it was originally intended as a safe place for men to store their pocket watches. It dates back to Levi's first ever pair of jeans, which hit the market in 1879.
