This creative arm of watchmaking is vast and over the century's timepieces have found their way into nearly every inanimate object that can be thought of. Their ultimate form has only been limited by the imagination of their maker and in some cases that seems to have been infinite. From pistols, walking canes and scent flasks to spyglasses, telescopes and perfume bottles, such as the present lot, the variety of concealed watches makes them a fascinating subsection of horology to collect.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
