13 Secret Watches That Do Double Duty As Dazzling Jewellery

Timepieces that are truly a hidden treasure

October 18, 2016

Céline designer Phoebe Philo was famously quoted as saying: “The chicest thing is when you don’t exist on Google. God, I would love to be that person!” In our connected age of online living, when every moment can be chronicled for all to see, a little privacy can be the greatest luxury of all.

These magnificent bejewelled treasures do double duty as a camouflaged timepiece. Remember, the better part of valour is discretion—just how well can you keep a secret?
