Artist's Comments

So this is Mechanical Memory key Number 4. It has taken an age to finish (approx 10-12 hours) mainly due to the detail and having to harvest the pieces from the watches myself - I think I probably used parts from around 6 different pocket watches (from brand new ones to watches over 100 years old).

The key is made out of Padauk wood & has approximately 10 Ruby's which look great when the key catches the light, & when the Keys plugged into a USB, it glows green from underneath the gears giving the key a good sense of movement.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the gears themselves do not move, but the light gives the appearance of movement. I'm hoping that in the future I will get the gears to move, but currently its not possible.

I'm afraid that my keys don't currently move but the LED activity light gives the key the appearance of movement - I'm working on a fully functional one, but currently its quite far off! Thanks...

The gears are currently just aesthetic, but hopefully in the future that will change... Thank you!

Yeah, but the USB drive itself works?
