I have always been into watches and creating a timepiece from scratch has been my plan since a long time. I decided to build a wristwatch with a heavy inspiration from Art Nouveau and Clockpunk aesthetics which could be worn casually as well as on special occasion.

I have always wanted to create a timepiece from scratch and sought the opportunity create one focusing on the aesthetics. I had already watched tutorials on how people build their own wristwatches. I finalized the mechanism I’d utilize to the ST3600k, a skeletonized version of ST3600 which is a hand wound mechanical watch movement made…

For my final project of a wristwatch heavily inspired by Art Nouveau and clockpunk with open mechanism. I have a few specifications set (some of them are quite obvious) which are: It should be a wristwatch, and not a pocket watch. (I had considered making a pocket watch too) It should be a wristwatch with…

One alternative I thought of for my project of the Art Nouveau and Clockpunk wristwatch that I described in my last post was a Cyberpunk wristwatch. Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that focuses on a futuristic, dystopian society where advanced technology and cybernetic implants are prevalent. A Cyberpunk wristwatch would be utilitarian in…

For my final project, I have a vision of creating a wristwatch and its aesthetic would be heavily inspired from Art Nouveau and Clockpunk aesthetics. Art Nouveau was a movement that emerged in the late 19th century and was popular in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its organic, flowing lines, and decorative…

Vision and Specifications: My vision for this project was to upcycle discarded bike wheels into a functional and aesthetically pleasing tensegrity structure that could also be utilized as a coffee table by adding a glass top. I developed the specifications for its function and form by choosing the tensegrity structure after realizing that the spokes…

Continuing on from my previous post of making a tensegrity sculpture/table from bike rims and other bike wheel parts, I strictly decided to not use any external fasteners as it would add up to the sustainability and be almost purely upcycled. This self imposed requirement means using the bike spokes exclusively to bind all the…

For my upcycling project, I was able to find electronic waste (discarded keyboards, mouse, and monitor), glass bottles, different sized bike wheels, and cardboard. Looking at the bike wheels, I got the idea to make a tensegrity structure made almost entirely out of the bike wheel parts, which are the rims, spokes, and the hub.…
