Description
This is a 16GB hand made custom usb flash drive. It is created from a relatively rare and beautiful exotic wood called 'zebrano'. The top side has been decorated with recycled watch parts, it comes complete with a wooden lid, brass face plate and pocket watch chain. When plugged in the key glows red underneath the gears.All the watch parts have come from damaged or irreparable pocket watch's that have been hand disassembled and then combined to create a true, miniature work of art.
This item is currently up for sale on my etsy shop [link]

It would be epic if the gears turned when you plugged it in. If only you could put a tiny electric motor powered by usb so that the gears all turn while its being used.

Shame that the wheels and cogs don't spin when it's plugged in, but that would be really hard to pull off.

Thank you for your awesome comment! Although you might want to avoid having my receding hair line and limited level of sanity

My level of sanity is already limited, but I don;t think I;m at risk of a receding hairline... I have way too much hair.

I love the way how you made something from the digital age, a type of technology we use everyday for modern purposes, like saving information, look so classical and historical. It reminds me of steampunk, in a way. ^-^

I don't recycle too much. I do tend to reuse items. I do enjoy seeing what others do.

That's the most beautiful USB drive I've ever seen! If I had the money to spare, I'd buy it at this moment. But I can only admire it from an image on the Internet. Beautiful work. Seriously. I'm adding it to my favorites.
