Basically all clocks and watches are trying to tell our ultimate demise. To make it more horrible, some watchmakers in 1810 made the Memento Mori Death Watch (Memento Mori means Remember you are mortal, remember you will die, remember your death), a pocket watch in human skull shape.
The Memento Mori Death Watch measures 43 high x 27 wide x 32mm deep and is made of 18K gold, enamel and diamond, which is not a surprise if it costs $16,000.

This is Zoltar, the classic animatronic fortune teller found in arcades, that stands 6 1/2′ tall, and augurs a spoken and printed fortune for you.
Richly detailed with a handlebar mustache and beard, a gold head wrap, gold shirt, paisley vest, and jewelry, the bust of Zoltar stands in a solid wheeled cabinet of oak with birch veneers, finished in gold-and black-painted trim, and is surrounded by three panes of tempered glass.
Zoltar acknowledges your presence and invites you to approach him. Once you insert a quarter (coins may be removed), Zoltar nods his head up and down as his crystal ball illuminates and he sweeps his hand back and forth.
Zoltar provides 16 different spoken fortunes and dispenses one of 23 different printed fortunes in the form of a paper card; 2,000 fortune cards are included. The fortune is dispensed from the front of the cabinet.
