Description
buy: [link]A Wrinkle in Time was made with a vintage brass watch face that has been shaped and folded to create a cloth-like effect along with many different antique brass wheels, gears, cogs, winding stems, plates, jewels, and other parts. All parts are recycled from old and unloved watches, cleaned, and soldered into place using lead-free silver bearing solder, rather than glues or resins found in many craft items. Each piece at A Mechanical Mind is hand designed and assembled by an artist, and each piece is one of a kind, and never to be reproduced exactly.
A Wrinkle in Time is 12mm wide by 32mm tall and comes on an 18" antiqued silver cable chain with links measuring 1.2mm. A ring clasp secures the necklace.
Premium Sterling Silver Round Cable chains are also available at extra cost:

Oh cool, how on earth did you get the face to wrinkle like that? It's a fantastic detail!

Thank you, Kimberly! I've been working on sculpting the watch faces to produce a kind of liquidity in the metal. I guess it's very much inspired by Dali.

That's probably why I love it so much. I love Dali's crazy work. <3

Gorgeous! (And if the name was taken from the book by Madeleine l'engle - double
)
