That would be a "staking" set- generally used to open, close, modify mostly pivot holes in watches and clocks. A complete set has about 150 or so punches "stakes) and "stumps" plus a positioning guide with an anvil base. To the casual observer, these don't look like much, but each punch is tool steel, unique, and incredibly precise.
