The Moment is a Japanese camera disguised as a pocket watch, perhaps sold in the 1910s by Ueda.[1] It is only known from a single surviving example pictured in Sugiyama.[2] It was patterned after the Ticka watch camera, and is said to take 15×22mm exposures on 17.5mm rollfilm.[3] The lens and lens cap are disguised as the watch winder. There is a key on the side, certainly used to advance the film. The shutter has B and I settings selected by a sliding lever on the side.
The outside of the watch-case has the name "MOMENT", surrounded by an oval frame containing the words SOLE AGENT T. U. CAMERA CO. The initials "T.U." might stand for Tokyo Ueda.
