Had a find turned into amazing art!

[Tpmetal]

Had a friend who owns a nice little clock/antique shop in dryden ny make this for me(don't think i can name drop shop here due to site rules, sorry). I told him to make one of my old pocket watches into a wrist watch for me. No guidelines just have fun and make me something. This is what he came up with using one of my found seated quarters. Handmade, and designed by him, minus the strap that was handmade by another artisan. What do you guys think of it? I think he knocked it outta the park, thing screams old america in a cool new way. Now I just gotta find a place/event nice enough to wear it to haha.

When an Artist reworks older material they found it is called "Reclaimed Art" I have done some myself.

What an outstanding job ! That Seated Quarter makes the whole watch. Not only did he knock it out of the park, he knocked it out of one and half way into the second park. Great looking piece.
