Description You are looking at Mechanical Memory Key Number 16.

The key has been made from the ground up, using the highest quality 16GB flash memory, housed in a hand carved Rippled Sycamore chassis. All watch movements have been hand chosen and constructed to form a brand new movement. It features a brass face plate for the usb connector and a mother of pearl inlay on the back. 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.

It comes complete with a wooden lid and pocket watch chain. When plugged in the key glow red underneath the gears.

Wow--what intricate clockworks--I'm astounded at the quality!

My dad thinks it would be cool if the gears moved when the USB was in the computer.

Nice piece! How sturdy are your creations, because of the thin wood and all...?

Hey man, They're a lot more robust than you'd think. I've accidentally dropped mine down a flight of stairs & trodden on it without any damage. I try to use very hard woods & make the chassis as robust as possible. over the last 4 years I've made around 30 keys & (so far!) none have been damaged during use, & hopefully it will stay that way!

Really fantastic design, I love how you've combined old technology, (being the gears), with the new, (being the memory stick).
I absolutley love it!
