For some reason, making miniature motorcycles out of watches makes a lot of sense. It's also awesome.

mediareport: that picture made me realize that sculptures like this benefit particularly, I think, from being seen in real life and handled. I bet they have a nice weigh to them that just screams "machine" when they're in your hand.

I'm sure the weigh is great too, but I meant to say weight. Oops.

What a wonderful world. Thanks for the delight mediareport.
The artist's name is, José Geraldo Reis Pfau. He's 56, from Brazil, was inspired to make the miniatures watching the movie, Easy Rider, and from what I could understand, is part of a jewelry, watch and optician company. About the artist. One might send him a message here.
peacay, loved that fun mechart link you added! Cute!

This is really great stuff.
I'd agree with invitapriore that the implied weight of them is a big attraction - not sure why.
