    Inside a $20 U.S. gold piece. You will find quite a few examples of coins opening up to expose a small watch cased in a separate case which swivels out. Very few as this one.

    These are really things of beauty. Was able to handle one once, the way it is put together is a marvel of craftmanship.

    I love these. It would just sit in my watchbox, because I’d never have an excuse to wear it, but they are beautiful.

    Very cool. Reminds me of some of the special gimmicked coins made for magicians (I used to do a lot of magic when I was younger).

    The one you posted here has a very common construction. I had quite o few of those. I had found only one other on the Internet years ago made exactly as this one. It was a Cartier and sold for over $8000 years ago.
