Description
So this is my third mechanical Flash/Memory key & probably, in my opinion, my most successful so far.It has however taken an age to finish (approx 10-12 hours) mainly due to the detail and having to harvest the pieces from the watches myself - I think I probably used parts from around 6 different pocket watches (from brand new ones to watches over 100 years old). The key is made out of purple heart & has approximately 26 Ruby's which look great when the key catches the light, & when the Keys plugged into a USB, it glows green from underneath the gears giving the key a good sense of movement.
Please note the gears on this key do not actually move.
This piece has sold but I have others available in my shop or can be ordered on commission.

OK, this is awesome.
You sir have the unrivaled privliege of having the best damned USB stick that ever there was! Oh how I wish those gears actually moved when you plugged it in, and I have to say that I was a bit surprised when I read that you used pieces from ancient watches. You don't see something like that nowadays.
You deserve your DD!

A cigar shaped flash drive would be interesting...anyways those details and the little gears are absolutely ridiculous and must have been very time consuming.

Holy carp! 
Too bad nothing moves on a usb that could make the gears move! 
So I guess all the watches you're harvesting for parts are beyond repair? (Wow, 100 years old? You'd think you could get some good money off something like that alone!)

Aw, just realized you don't have any of these in your shop! How much are these going for, what is the size of the memory stick, and can I put other sticks in or is it permanently bonded to the gears and such?
