Repurposed Watches and Clocks

Here are some genius ideas from used watches and clocks.   I have tossed out many dead watches and never considered any other purpose for them. Perhaps they deserve a second life with many possibilities.

This beautiful work is by local artist, Robert Laper.  I appreciate how he incorporated a clock within the piece, and yet, a pocketwatch as part of the sculpture.

Just imagine these types of clocks turned into photo frames.

For the camp with a photo of the Big Buck Hunt?
