I am the owner and creator of Clockwork Traveler. I create my jewelry out of decommissioned antique pocket watches, wristwatches and clocks to create unique pieces of wearable art.

I started creating my jewelry as a hobby in 2011 when I opened up an Elgin pocket watch from the early 1900s. I saw the detailed engravings (damaskeening) and was blown away by how beautiful the backs of the watches were! It made me want to create jewelry that highlighted the beauty found inside the watches that are typically not seen.

I try to stay as true to the original piece as possible; I do not add embellishments as I think the watches are beautiful by themselves. I also preserve the dials on the watches so most of my necklaces are reversible!
