I dont know exactly what you are looking for, but I have got a small clock that is designed to be recessed into wood etc.
I bought it from a local supplier which sells clock modules, parts and hands etc so you can make your own clocks.
The clock I have is about 22mm and I've seen people use them in paper weights and pen holders for desks. (I got it for an unfinished project)
I hope this helps you narrow down your search.

Not sure what you are looking for, but maybe take a look at women's watches. Some of them are very small. Might work if you remove the band and do a little work on the case with a file?

Expanding on Ron's suggestion, keep your eyes open for novelty items with integrated – but removable – clocks. I was lucky enough to get this Timex that way, which has been reliable for nearly ten years.

Edit: Timex website says that Wal-Mart and K-Mart carry their collectible mini-clocks (mounted in a variety of "collectibles"). Doesn't mention prices. Wal-Marts in Germany?

If you want the smallest mechanical movement in the world, try to get the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101 (created in 1929, 12 mm and still remains the smallest.)

Sorry, I didn´t told what I was exactly thinking of but I was looking forward to your brainstorms.
In the rough I dreamed about a clock same sized as the SAS-compass or even smaller. So Frankie´s idea (Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 101) was keenly what I´ve thought but my budget seems to be too limited for it and I believe it is a sacrilege to burry such a genius item down in my PSK.
I´m even sad because I love full mechanical things over all electronics.
I think I´ll focus on xbanker´s Wal-Mart theme (Yes, they´ve finally reached Germany).

Thanks to all of you
Molf
