If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker
I just completed work on the pocket watch Mad-eye Moody carries in Goblet of Fire. It was quite a project, from finding the right watch, creating the art, to disassembling (and reassembling) the watch.
UPDATE: To test the waters to determine price and interest I am selling this one on eBay. Perhaps I’ll make more than a final one for me . . . perhaps not.
Awesome! Congrats on selling it too.
Maybe you should make 20 of them instead.
I just think theres something so beautiful about re-making a pocket watch so that it doesn’t work, and replacing the hours with symbols that evade our knowledge.
Love what you do.
Love Harry Potter too!
Well . . . with the exception of the unreadable symbols, the watch still works!
Nice watch, although I think it would benefit from some aging.
I have found some household items can stain in an aged effect on various metal types.
I have an interest in pocket watches and recently bought some parts.
Good Luck!
I have an aged version I’m working on. What’s nice about being able to remove the watch movement is that the case can be aged without damaging the movement.
