Ticking in orbit...
Details
Recycled from a modern Chinese watch part. Notice the unconventional shape; instead of a 'whole' watch movement, only a portion of it is utilised.
16mm width x 15mm height x 5mm thickness (off the finger).
925 Sterling Silver.
It contains 2 ruby-jewel bearings. You can see one directly in the centre of the movement. Jewels are ruby bearing-points inset by the watchmaker to reduce friction caused by the movement of rotating gears.
