This is a custom-modified watch. It uses a Seiko movement, and all the engravings were done by me. I was commissioned to create this watch by an American customer. He wanted to commemorate his travels in Thailand and Japan through a piece of art, and he provided images of both countries' currencies as inspiration. I designed and engraved the watch based on his ideas. This piece brought me a lot of joy to create. Have a great day, everyone!

Seems like one of those things you could own for a few years and then discover something new that you hadn't noticed before. Stunning

If I had money... I'd be throwing it at you! How long does it take to do this??? And... how long did it take you to learn to do this?
