Steampunk Watch: The Akribos XXIV DaVinci Skeleton Steampunk Watch

Awesome steampunk watch. [Link]

I hesitate to call it steampunk, through the degradation of the term by people
like me, but my attempts at describing it otherwise only end up being laughably
convoluted loop-de-loops around the term. It reminds me very strongly of
Disneyland Paris' Space Mountain aesthetic, which is furnished after the
spaceship design of Verne's De la Terre à la Lune... all burnished brass and
exposed copper cogwork. But, of course, that's all very steampunk too.

This could almost make me wear a watch again.
