New leather & brass steampunk watch, old-looking effect for more realism, with an old functional pocket watch of the railroad employees (end of 19th / beginning of 20th century), and with a compass and sundial by C&L Factory
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Ahh it’s good to be making these again! I’ve been so preoccupied with personal stuff and other projects, I completely forgot to keep my glowy things updated. I hope you like the new designs! There are more in my shop, so please take a look, you might find something you’d like!
The lockets are a new thing btw, but I only have 3! I ran out of lockets :C I’ll see how they go, if they sell, I’ll buy more supplies! The little crystals move around freely inside, just like in the bottles.
There’s quite a few things I need to save up for, including jewelry courses at university, so signal boosting is super appreciated as well!
Each year these blossoming blue fields attract thousands of tourists. Hitachi Park is located in the Ibaraki Prefecture on Honsyu in Japan. It’s a beautiful spectacle during the flowering of the nemophila. Nemophilas are annual flowers. The word is a combination of the Greek words “nemos” (small forest) and “phileo” (love). The Japanese word “hitachi” translates to dawn. Taken together: “small forest love in dawn.” A blue heaven on Earth. (allthatisodd)
Van Cleef & Arpels Complication Poetique Midnight Planetarium Watch
Complication Poetique Midnight Planetarium Watch
has six rotating disks, each bearing a tiny sphere representing one of the six planets visible with the naked eye.
The disks rotate at different speeds so that each sphere makes one revolution around the dial in the time it takes the actual planet it represents – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn – to orbit the sun. Mercury in 88 days, Venus in 224, Earth in a year, Mars in 687 days, Jupiter in 12 years and Saturn in 29. It’s a very complex watch and a true display of supreme watchmaking. Time is indicated by a shooting-star symbol rotating around the dial’s circumference. Leveraging the brand’s specialty in jewelry, each of the planets are represented by precious and semi-precious stones, ranging from red jasper to serpentine and turquoise. An even more extravagant edition is available with baguette-cut diamonds set into the bezel.
The planet module was designed by Christian van der Klaauw, renowned for his movements featuring astronomical indications. The movement is self-winding and contains 396 components. The case is 44 mm in diameter and made of rose gold. The dial is made of aventurine and the planets of semiprecious stones. Price: about $245,000; a diamond-set version will be about $330,000.
