Artisanal steampunk watches of Japan
A Japanese artisan makes the superb steampunk watches -- neatly tying together two of my fetishes, timekeeping and Victorian inventor aesthetic. Dear Lord, there's a lot to love here. I want three more arms so I can buy five of them and wear one on each wrist.
Link, Link to more work
(Thanks, Robert!)
Assload of steampunkery on Boing Boing
Update: Todd, who reads Japanese, notes that most of these watches aren't for sale. I weep.
Update 2: Thanks to Logan and Nicholas for pointing out this interview with the creator of the watches, Haruo Suiekichi.
