We all know that time and death are linked and with Halloween just around the corner, it’s fitting that I show you one of the scariest damn death watches I’ve seen.

This is the Memento Mori Death Watch from around 1810 and subtle, it is not. You can’t actually get a much more vivid message: “That’s right sucker, tick tock, you’re a dead man walking.”

To check the time you just open up that skull. This miniature skull pocket watch is made from enamel, 18k gold and diamonds. It sold for a cool £9,000. See it in all it’s gory glory after the jump.-Martin Lynch
