Steampunk watch

Steampunk watch

Here is a watch in Steampunk style.
It is an automatic watch: it runs without batteries, it is not powered up, it works with the energy accumulated by the movements of the arm.
I made a bracelet giving free rein to my imagination, based on leather, gears, a key, clock needle and brass plates hand engraved by myself.
Here is a slideshow of the "making of" this watch:
