You are looking at Mechanical Memory key Number 7. This beautiful key has taken longer than any of my previous of designs & in my opinion, is the best I've produced. There are parts from around 5 different pocket watches, ageing from around ten years old to watches over 100 years old.

The key has been made from the ground up (taking approximately 20+ hours) using the highest quality flash memory, housed in a hand carved Tiger Myrtle chassis. It has approximately 24 Ruby's (and one green stone that I believe is an emerald, but I cant be sure) which look great when the key catches the light. All the watch parts have come from damaged or irreparable pocket watch's that have been hand disassembled and then combined to create a true, miniature work of art.

The key comes with a traditional 30cm/12" (approx) removable pocket watch chain to both keep the key safe, close to hand, and also complete the overall look. The key also comes in its own, custom presentation box as part of the package.

This has now sold ([link])

Just to clarify, the gears themselves do not move. I hope you like it!

I think as you progress with these you try to stuff as many gears as you can in them! XP

I was wondering if you would take costume orders, and if a person have a few parts they'd like you to use if you could
