Steampunk Watch

Though most of what I produce is stories, I do occasionally put together actual things that really exist. This is a stainless steel chainmail watch strap, made for a skeleton dial mechanical watch. It's hard to make out in this photo, but you can see all the little bits and pieces moving inside (as well as how far the spring has wound down: that's really handy).

The weave of this chain is European 6-in-1, and it's made up of 322 individual links. If you want more information about this project, and a much better range of photos, you might like to have a look at this blog post.
