Historically, "Memento Mori" is a Latin phrase meaning "remember that you must die." It originated in ancient Rome and has been a recurring theme in art, literature, and philosophy throughout Western history. The concept serves as a reminder of mortality and the transient nature of life, encouraging reflection on the impermanence of earthly pursuits and the importance of spiritual contemplation. In art, memento mori often takes the form of symbols like skulls, hourglasses, or withered flowers, prompting viewers to consider the brevity of life and the inevitability of death.

What chain length should I pick?
MEDIUM (60cm) is by far our most popular choice, as it sits around chest height. SHORT (45cm) can be suitable if you’d like to wear the pendant closer to your neck, and LONG (75cm) works well with larger designs. Check our Sizing Guide for more help (you can find this below the price).
Does the watch still work?
Our watch mechanisms are upcycled from vintage, obsolete timepieces that were beyond repair. They are purely decorative and do not work anymore, unless specified so!
