Brass & Steel.
18mm x 38mm x 5mm.
6 Rubies.
Recycling a 1920-30's rectangular Swiss men's watch mechanism. Notice the bevelled wheels and hand-engraved markings. A Swiss movement, from a rectangular, men's watch, crafted in the heftier, chunkier feel of the earlier industrial style.
Artist's Notes: We've been drawn to Ancient Egypt since we were children, and we really wanted to incorporate its style into our work. Every watch movement we find is unique, akin to discovering treasure, and we felt the rectangular 'sarcophagus' shaped watch movements of the early 20th century was the perfect opportunity to incorporate the iconic ritual masks of Ancient Egypt.
