Check out this fully functional Steampunk designed watch which is equal part jewelery and collectible piece. Looking like something from The Matrix, this Steampunk watch fits around your wrist much like a wristband would, that is if wristbands were made of metal.
In addition to the time piece, the watch also features a compass and of course the bad ass look of metallic wrist wear. Though the watch couldn’t be very comfortable to wear for a sustained amount of time. Though for your next comic book convention, this would be a cool piece of gear to wear. Or to walkout on stage with your Steampunk guitar.

How, we wonder, would one even get this watch on?
Thats a nice on, I really like it.
Which Matrix featured half baked steampunk designs?
If anything this is the opposite of the Matrix look. It’s not in any way modern or streamlined in appearance. For that matter, its pretty ugly as a steampunk design as well.
I was thinking the same as regards to “Matrix”. It’s far too old fashioned and chunky to resemble anything from the high tech surroundings of the Matrix.
I’m not too keen on the actual piece myself but I like the look of the metal tubing type material. Although not in the current arrangement.
I really like the watch. where can we look at other designs.
Love the watch
it’s a little over the edge to be honest. is it waterproof at least ? 😛
pretty cool looking, but with all that tubing it looks like it should do something else. Maybe the next design is a wrist mounted phone.
where can i get one of these? i spent hours combing through the internet and still cant find a cool looking steampunk watch under 50 dollars (AU). could i purchase this one off you? just name your price.
The Matrix was cyberpunk, not steampunk. Totally different esthetic. Cool watch though.
I think most steampunks forget that the tubes that are supposed to be carrying steam would be hot as shit. Those would burn the fuck out of his wrist. At least if you are going to make fake steam powered stuff think about how it would actually work. Just throwing some copper tubing onto a shitty watch doesn’t make it cool.
