What is a Frankenwatch?

miguelbricabrac

Is a Frankenwatch a watch that has newer parts but that are period or model correct for the watch? And if so, does this also extend to replacement parts to the movement such as rubies, pallet forks, train wheels, mainsprings, etc?

Here are a couple of Frankenwatches from India that I mistakenly purchased during my early, naive days of collecting.
