I would check with a lawyer about your legal exposure. If it is determined to be your property then you get to decide what you want to do with it. Including keeping it or giving it to the widow or selling it, Sounds like money is not a need for any of you though. Is there any inventory of the watches or any paperwork showing what he purchased and at what price? I would find those in case any watches are missing or you are accused of holding anything back.
