-Robb Report
Chocolates, oysters, lingerie, roses—we all know the usual suspects when
it comes to arousing a little interest from our significant others when
Valentine’s Day (or sometimes, any other Tuesday) rolls around. Long
before the advent of pornography in its conventional sense, the task of
supplying “excitement” was a task occasionally left to the world of
horology. Back in 2011, a large selection of erotic pocket watches from the 18th and 19th century hit the auction block,
pulling in some fairly significant prices in the process. Some boasted
enameled dials displaying rather “NSFW” acts, and others took things a
step further with automaton functions that could arguably be called the
first examples of mobile video porn. These days, a surprising number of
luxury watch manufacturers still dabble in the realm of taboo timekeeping. You may be as shocked as we were to see some of the names gracing this list.
