Skulls, coins and other horological symbols are not new. Skulls and skeletons were used as clock faces in the early days of mechanical clocks. Javelot and Thomas White were among the many watchmakers who made skull clocks, including William Bowyer, James Harmar and William Bowyer.

By virtue of their shape and value, coins begged to have their cavities hollowed either to house a pocket watch that was smaller and complete, and could be removed, or to serve as a case, with a dial and movement fitted inside. They were popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, and continue to be so today. Audemars Piguet and Gubelin are among those who have made them.

Wristwatches were even more obvious a subject for housing in a coin, thanks to the smaller calibres, but skulls-as-wristwatches - or merely decorating them - are more recent. Audemars Piguet Replica Watches had been around long before skulls became as popular as car logos. Houses such as Bell & Ross and Fiona Kruger also used skulls on their dials.
