#pocket watch
Hello everyone! This is my latest creation, a tiny flying ship with three figures working on it. There is a steersman at the helm, a lookout on the top looking through a telescope and a stoker shoveling coal into the steam engine. The flying machine has been made out of tiny watch parts and the entire scene has been bulit inside a vintage pocket watch case. The front has been closed with a piece of glass from an incandescent bulb that I have cut to size. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! This is a private commission I made, a miniature robot inventor’s workshop. It is made primarily from watch parts and contains a good deal of tiny objects, tools and details. I built it on a pocket watch case and closed it on top with a glass dome. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! Here’s my latest miniature world, a miniature apothecary made inside a tiny Victorian era pocket watch case. It was a lot of fun creating all the fine details, such as all the bottles, jars and containers of varying sizes and materials. The pocket watch is made of pure silver and adorned by a beautiful design while the front has been closed with a watch crystal. Enjoy!

My latest piece! A miniature scene of an astronomer observing the motions of the cosmos.
In the sky there are planets, stars and meteorites. The astronomer is sitting in a natural scene amidst grass, rocks and bushes. There is a table next to him with a candle, quill pen and a book where he is noting down star charts and astronomical observations.

Some of the Earliest Porn was in Erotic Pocket Watches
Sex is timeless.
BY KATE HAKALA
Move aside nudie ball point pens and Tijuana bibles, the latest smutty antiques to be uncovered from the annals of history are erotic pocket watches. Dubbed “pocket porn,” these dirty timepieces have a history that dates back to the early 19th century. Until recently, these erotic watches were only for in-the-know ardent collectors because their sexy undercurrents were concealed. Usually the hand-painted and extremely graphic depictions were hidden behind dials and faces of the pieces. But turn a knob, and out comes the duke groping under the courtesan’s skirt.
Chris Del Gatto, consultant to Jacob & Co. jewelers, told CNBC that erotic pocket watches have a rich, illicit history, “In the beginning, people would commission pocket watches with faces of their wives or lovers because oftentimes people were separated months or years at a time.” These extremely rare gold and silver enameled automaton watches were a luxury when they debuted centuries ago, and today, diamond-encrusted modern takes on pocket porn like the “Caligula“ are selling for up to $1.6 million. Which, I have to say, is a pricey reminder of your long-distance lover’s naked form when an up-the-skirt shot is just a sext away. Below are some of the highlights of this time-honored tradition.

Pocket watch in a silver case, by James Richards, London 1793
This beautiful piece shows a Sailor’s Farewell scene. In it, a Sailor says goodbye to his beloved while his ship is already waiting for him. The silver case was made later and seems to replace the original one. Possibly the owner had to sell it to get money again, which often happened. And later bought this replacement case, which is from a mass production, because this interior scene of a gentleman with his servant is not of great quality.

A silver cased pocket watch with a maritime scene, London 1818
This pretty example with a painted dial very probably belonged to an officer. Because those two ships in the harbour are two warships, and an officer would have been more likely to have had them painted on than a private person.
