I’m sitting here with my Movado in one hand and a screwdriver in another. Why, you wonder?
Nope, I’m not going to doodle on the wristband.
Nope, I love my watch.
Nope, my watch is not broken. Yet.
I’m having my life flash before my eyes. My mom used to call me The Destroyer when I was five. The urge to take things apart was (and still is) bigger than me. The things were not meant to be taken apart by 5-year-olds, so this usually was the end of the things.
Thanks to Jose Geraldo Reis Pfau I’m about to dismember my watch. Which may or may not lead to turning it into a piece of art. The Brazilian is good. Just look at his miniature motorcycle sculptures constructed out of watch parts. Captivating…
Somebody tell me where I can get some junk watches… Before it’s too late!
Nice!
These are really fascinating.
I found your blog through Entrecard (in fact, you were the one I advertised from 6pm yesterday to 6pm today).
I really love all the interesting artistic things you post.
I’ll be back!

Those are awesome models, by the way. You should post a picture of your first attempt… but not with the Movado.
January 29, 2008 @ 3:52 amPut your hands up in the air, and step away from the Movado!!!!!!
January 29, 2008 @ 9:37 amAlthough, as I told you, I fully understand your desire to take apart those little things. As a kid, I was always messing with my grandpa-the-watchmaker’s box or spare parts. Of course, I was just trying to get the shiny little stones out of them
Awesome site! I have tons of extra watches that I get for christmas every year. Now I know what to do with them!
January 29, 2008 @ 2:34 pmThose are so neat! I had to show my son. He’s the builder in the family – though he’s usually building and creating things with Lego. Old watches? Hmmm….
