Namiki maki-e and raden Two Carps pipe for Dunhill. At https://www.alpascia.com/en/product/39028/dunhill-namiki-two-carps-limit

After the wristwatch was popularized in the early part of the last century, Dunhill among others led in a flurry of putting watches everywhere and on everything - pens, lighters, compacts, belt buckles and, in collaboration with watchmaker Tavannes, exquisite small so-called purse watches that would spring open with the press of a button. They came in silver, gold, and very rarely in decorated lacquer and hand-painted real gold (and inlaid mother of pearl - raden) made in Japan by the artisans of Namiki, with whom Dunhill Paris had negotiated an exclusivity in 1929. This is an exquisite example.
