The Ultimate Mechanical watch

"Just glue some gears on it and call it steam-punk"
And, erm . . . . pistons ?

This watch looks very interesting:-

Ooo, I want one! But the price is going to have to come down a little. Here's another vid.

And any Steampunkers out there who want to properly equip an expedition up the Congo or somewhere, consider StanleyLondon for all your brass and German silver equipment needs.

The Guinness Clock(s)

The Guinness Clock as originally created for the 1951 Festival of Britain, led to several others.

As a small boy I wanted to be back at the clock every hour on the hour.

It was steam-punk before steam-punk existed.

I can't find a YouTube of the Festival one but here is another at Morecombe.

Edited for: Film of Festival of Britain. The Guinness Festival Clock appears at about 7 minutes 15 seconds.

I'd like to have one of the Tamya sextants, but the price will have to fall a bit first !
