Good price, too, for a handmade item: just $230 at her Etsy store. (Thanks, Snarp!)

Hi, thanks for the feature and the lovely comments

It is also for sale. She has some nice necklaces, too.
I would have used a different font on the face. I’m not sure which, but something like Palatino Linotype or Tiranti Solid LET. And the watch hands need more, er, curilicueness. (Curlicueity?)
And with such a bold armband, why such a shy watch? It should be the size of the silver ring immediately around the watch.
I remember, back in the day, the shitty “steampunk Nerf gun” mods that once showed up here for a brief time, but the tables have turned! Some of the most wonderfully constructed gewgaws are aiming for the same feel, but doing it right.

This design has a digital watch as its centrepiece! To me it highlights the superficiality of (at least some) steampunk.
The automatic, self-winding, spring-powered mechanical wristwatch with emeralds as bearing surfaces and an open back and face surely has more baroque, victorian, gears-and-steam appeal than a dressed-up digital watch.
Try harder.
allow me to be the first to say “ooh! shiny!”
also “want”
Very nice. Steampunk meets Lensman? Of course one needs the proper outfit to carry it off, though there are several possibilities.
Pretty!
Nicely done.
Did someone say “proper outfit”?
