Watch bracelet

A type of bracelet that is flexible and made to include an integrated wrist watch. Such pieces are usually made as luxury jewelry for a woman, being of gold or platinum, set with gemstones, and having the hinged lid completely jewelled so as to conceal the watch and appear as a continuation of the bracelet.
