Kuriosities

Sorting through all of my little watch gears and parts last night, I suddenly saw this piece in my mind’s eye – a little steampunked record player pendant. I love it! If you move the large gear in the centre, the two little gears to the side move. The little hand on the needle arm moves to on a little gage that shifts from F to S. I hammered in two tiny little gears for volume and speed dials. Every thing was riveted together with sterling silver rivets, onto a copper base. These gears have so thoroughly captured my imagination, and that no two pieces will be the same…

This particular record player may be spoken for (details are not firmed up yet at the moment), but if you want one of your very own I can make another similarily inspired , just email me- but the pieces will be unique antique watch parts from different broken watches, so no two will be exactly alike – which is their charm , I think. It certainly is for making them!
