One of my favorite movies, and the compass is a very good, beautifully-designed example of steampunk. I wish I could find something like it to buy, just as a souvenir to have around. :3

Another work of art by qacreate on Etsy.

“At the center of this piece is a fully functioning skeleton face watch. I think the white face provides a great contrast to the brass gears and brown leather cuff. The gearings of the watch are visible as the watch ticks away. I set the watch in front of a vintage brass clock gear which measures 3 inches across. 

The brown leather cuff bracelet has two adjustable straps. I added two additional small brass gears at the top and bottom of the cuff. The gears measure approximately 1.5 inches. The watch winds so there is never a need to replace a battery.

The leather cuff measures 3.5 inches wide. The straps allow for various wrist sizes. My wrist measures 7 inches and there was plenty of additional room to both tighten and loosen it.

Guaranteed to get stares and start conversations.” ~ qacreate on Etsy

A great conversation starter indeed! I’m just amazed the watch actually works.

This piece seems like a perfect mixture of gears from one common item to another—a clock and a bike combined. Very unique.
