Beautiful, isnt’ it. This went around the web a while ago, but it’s such a lovely piece, and so very Steampunk that it had to get posted. Thanks to Doktor A for reminding me! Created by Vianney Halter and the DMC Group (not that DMC, no) this beautiful piece of artwork will cost you the quite breathtaking price of $220,000.

When you come to, again – I’ll continue. Back? Great. The official Vianney Halter page (beware – Flash-ridden) describes their “Futur Anterior” collection – or Future Past.

“These are watches than one might imagine on Captain Nemo’s wrist when at the controls of his Nautilus, or pehaps worn by H.G. Well’s when returning from time travel.”

I believe that would be quite the perfect description of a Steampunk watch.
