You've given a classic, even iconic, piece of machinery a new look. Nice work.

I'm really into "industrial" jewelry and these are stunning! Watchmaking was a really intricate art and the detail was incredible- then hidden by very simple cases. You've exposed the glorious guts here...

I love anything steampunk and try to apply the idea to some of my own creations, but in a feminine way. Beautiful work Tim xx
