Steampunk Pocket Watch Powered By The Sun.

I love the Steampunk design. Inspired by the whimsy of the Victorian era, this style harkens back to the time when authors like Jules Vern had the top spot on the New York Times best seller list. Now you can take that style with you with this Solar powered pocket watch from Design Toscano.
The timepiece, designed by Ezekiel Empire Rosenstein, was crafted specifically for Design Tuscano by the world-renowned craftsmen at Alchemy of England in Sheffield.
Although it is solar powered, one can still utilize a hand crank to charge it up for when the sun isn’t shining.
Here a bit more detail from their site:
“ With a quartz movement and magnetic fastening hatch, this fashion jewelry was finely sculpted in English pewter and brass. Alchemy Jewelry is a proud member of The Worshipful Company of Pewterers, granted charter in 1474 by King Edward IV for the legal manufacture of pewter finery throughout England.”
This fine example of Steampunk design isn’t all that expensive either. The list price is quoted on their page as $149
Not too shabby for a watch of this caliber.
Thanks goes out to Redferret for writing his post about this beautiful timepiece.
