Timepieces with risqué mechanism have been very well received in the market ever since the 17th century and such category of timepieces are known as erotic timepieces. During the time when home entertainment was lacking, customers would request to have their significant other etched on the automaton. This category of watches was so popular that erotic watches were then considered outlawed and would have been banned and destroyed.
