Looks like it could be made fairly easily.

That is a "Model A Simplex Adjustble Watch Holder" designed by Henry L. Lang (Staunton, VA) and was first introduced in 1910 (nothing to do with the later Ford "Model A" of course).

Here is an era advertisement for it:

Interesting Accessary for your old Ford.

Never knew they made this accessory. I have a couple of watches that would be perfect for my "A"'s.

Just as an aside, there was a very high quality self-winding "steering wheel" clock made by Benrus for the Chrysler line of cars. The clock fit into the wheel hub, since it was self winding, turning the steering wheel kept it wound.
