18k French Automaton Repeater Pocket Watch with Concealed Erotic Scene
18k French Automaton Repeater Pocket Watch with Concealed Erotic Scene
₹875,000.00
An exceptional 19th-century French automaton pocket watch in 18k rose gold, featuring dual-action mechanisms: gold figural strikers on the dial and a hidden erotic automaton on the reverse, activated by a discreet button. A rare collectible blending mechanical brilliance with risqué artistry.
But this piece holds more than meets the eye. A cleverly concealed automaton on the reverse reveals an erotic tableau—an example of the “secret” automaton watches that were highly prized among European elites of the time. The automaton animates when a hidden button is pressed, showcasing the technical ingenuity and cheeky charm these watches are known for.
Accompanied by its original winding key, this timepiece is a stunning collector’s item for those drawn to the intersection of fine watchmaking, mechanical curiosity, and historical eccentricity.
Key Features:
French origin, circa early-to-mid 19th century
18k rose gold case with contrasting white and yellow gold accents
Front automaton: two gold figures strike bells on the dial with repeater activation
Secret automaton on back: concealed erotic scene activated by button
Manual winding movement
Includes period winding key
A true conversation piece and horological rarity
This piece is ideal for collectors of antique automata, erotic objets d’art, and rare mechanical timepieces that reflect the wit and sophistication of a bygone era.
