This magnificent solid gold keywinding pocket watch is entirely hand constructed in 18kt. gold.

This was common as the two countries were invested in watchmaking technology. While being nearly 200 years old in fact, this watch is so well made that it can actually be worn and counted on to navigate your complicated day.
Consider the contradiction of using your smartphone while walking around and telling time with such a remarkable device as this.
