Portraiture was a popular style and it was common to request an image of a spouse or a lover to be painted on the back. Religious authorities in the watchmaking areas of Switzerland formed an alliance to seize and destroy such watches. As a result, watchmakers either decorated the interiors of pair cased watches or found a way to create a separate hinged caseback that concealed the image so that the watch appeared no different from any other. Over time, erotic watches became a social taboo and when timepieces transitioned from the pocket to the wrist watch in the early 20th century, this clandestine tradition was all but forgotten.

The Borgel case was first used for pocket watches before being widely used during the First World War for wristwatches. A watch with a Borgel case was significantly more expensive than one in an ordinary case, but it was the best available at the time for life in the trenches and military men rarely economised on kit on which their life depended. The case back and middle part are in one piece, so there is no opening at the back. The front opening of the case is thickened and threaded internally with a fine thread. The movement, complete with dial and hands, is mounted in an externally threaded carrier ring, and the bezel carrying the crystal is mounted onto the end of this carrier ring. The assembly of carrier ring with movement, dial, hands, bezel and crystal is then screwed into the case from the front with the crown and spring loaded stem fully retracted. Borgel cases are now rare and are much sought after by collectors.

However, during the first Word War there was a need by soldiers to be able to see the time quickly and easily without having to rummage in a pocket, not least because they may well have their hands full, and pocket watches began to be worn strapped to the wrist with leather. Later, pocket watches had the pendant bow removed and lugs attached to the side and were fitted with a traditional watch strap, and the 'trench watch' was born. It soon became fashionable to wear the watch on the wrist, so at this time many pocket watches were converted in this way. It was not until later that the dial configuration was changed so that '12' and '6' were positioned at 90 degrees to the wrist as they are today. This was not only because fixing lugs where the winding crown and case hinge were located would be difficult, but also so that the crown rested comfortably on the wrist when worn. The dials were not repositioned as that was 'a watchmaker's job', whereas soldering lugs to the case side was reasonably easy to do 'at home'. In this example, the '12' and '6' are still parallel to the wrist and the pendant bow is missing. It started life as a pocket watch and was subsequently converted to a wristwatch - following the fashion which remains to this day.

Although simple in appearance, it provided the pilot will all the necessary information for flying in more challenging conditions. The flight time was registered at take off by selecting the hour with the rotating bezel. The chronograph or timer had multiple uses, including use for the approach to land with no visibility, calculating airspeed and keeping track on fuel usage. The minute register records up to 15 minutes, the approximate amount of flying time left after the 'low fuel' warning lamp illuminates. This clock was an essential piece of kit for the pilots, who were instructed to remove it if they had time after an emergency landing, before leaving the wreckage. During the time the Me109 was in production, 5 models of this clock were used, some with brass bezels, others with bakelite. Fully wound, the Bo UK 1 has power for 36 hours.
