Description buy: [link]

Apocalypse is made from the parts of very old watches (some from 19th century pocket watches) that have been disused and given or thrown away. His parts include steel gear train gears, face gears, watch stems, and antique European balance wheels. Rather than just being glued onto a chain, his parts have been stripped from watch movements, cleaned, and hand arranged into a new lifeform. All of his pieces are soldered on (never glued and resin-ed) using a silver bearing lead free solder which will last indefinitely. He is not a mass produced watch movement, but a new and completely unique in the world piece of unique art, hand designed and assembled by a human being.

Apocalypse is 15mm wide by 29mm high and comes on a 18" antiqued silver plated cable chain with links measuring 1.7mm and connected with a lobster clasp. Longer or shorter chains are available on request, so please note your size preference in the comments section during checkout if you need a different size.

Premium Sterling Silver Round Cable chains are also available at extra cost:
16" [link]
18" [link]

I really like this one. It reminds me of a pendellum. Just love the way it looks.

Thank you! I'm a big fan of this one, too. This is the style that I always have a hard time putting up for sale, as I want to keep it.

I've always thought it would be fun to make jewelry but never got into it because I know I wouldn't be able to sell it

There's no harm in trying, though! Etsy is pretty cheap, too. $.20 to list, 3% of the sale goes to them. If it doesn't sell, you've just lost twenty cents. There is always someone out there who wants what you make.
