'Because the monster was assembled from pieces of many different dead bodies, the phrase "Frankenstein" has entered the lexicon as a slang term for anything assembled haphazardly from originally disparate elements. Especially if those parts were previously discarded by others, for example, a car built from parts salvaged from many other cars. Similarly, for many years Eddie van Halen played a guitar built in such a manner which he called the "Frankenstrat".' - Frankenstein in popular culture

It comes from the pro wrestling move "frankensteiner" which is a leg scissors into a forward roll. It's a very difficult move to perform, yet doesn't change the fact that pro wrestling is still fake. A frankenwatch is carefully put together to seem as real as possible, but is still fake. Just like the frankensteiner.

And for the more dense folks in the crowd. Yes, I'm kidding.
