The development of ‘tie-on’ pockets during the 17th century was a defining moment for women, providing a highly practical and extremely popular detachable accessory for carrying their possessions, similar to the function of handbags today.
In polite society, formal situations, or when travelling, pockets would normally be invisible under a woman’s petticoats, but for working women, they might be more visible and immediately accessible, worn just under an apron.

"La Musicienne".
Musée d'art et d'histoire de Neuchâtel
Crafted between 1768 and 1774 by watchmakers Pierre Jaquet-Droz, Henri-Louis, and Jean-Frédéric Leschot, these mechanical marvels are extremely delicate. To preserve them, the museum only operates them once a month: every 1st Sunday at 14:00, 15:00, and 16:00.
