Innocently called "conversation piece", watches featuring a libertine scene have been highly popular since the late 16th century. Available with a variety of representations, either painted or automated, hidden or rather blunt as the present, such watches were amusement for the wealthy not only in Europe but also in the Orient, particularly in China.
