I Seek After Old, Broken Watches And Turn Their Parts Into Steampunk Sculptures

我寻找破旧的手表,把它们的零件变成蒸汽朋克雕塑

My name is Dan Tanenbaum and I’m a technology entrepreneur with a creative edge. I’ve been a collector of fine timepieces for around 20 years now and have always been fascinated by the intricacies of the movements powering such precision and accuracy.

我叫丹·塔南鲍姆,是一名具有创新优势的科技企业家。我收藏精美钟表已经有20年左右的时间了,我一直对钟表复杂的运动着迷,这些运动为钟表的精准度提供了强大的动力。

When timepieces are taken to the watchmaker, some of these incredible pieces are discarded and thrown away. I wanted to breathe new life into these pieces allowing them to live on in a different form.

当钟表被送到钟表匠那里时,其中一些不可思议的钟表就会被丢弃。我想给这些作品注入新的生命,让它们以一种不同的形式继续存在。

When I come home from work, I spend time with my family and then I’m off to my workshop tinkering with various watch parts. I started building miniature motorcycles exclusively using these watch parts. As I continued to build these tiny motorcycles, I started to make them more and more intricate. Each creation would take 30-50 hours to complete depending on the size and intricacies of the build. Within the last couple of years, I turned my attention to encrusting various iconic objects like skulls, vinyl figures, cameras, and Star Wars characters. With a niche following for these one-of-a-kind steampunk creations, I continue to focus on producing more intricate work as my art continues to evolve.

当我下班回家,我花时间和我的家人,然后我去我的车间修补各种手表零件。我开始专门用这些手表零件制造微型摩托车。当我继续制造这些小型摩托车时,我开始让它们变得越来越复杂。根据构建的大小和复杂性,每个创建将花费30-50个小时来完成。在过去的几年里,我把我的注意力转移到各种标志性的物体上,比如头骨、乙烯基人偶、相机和星球大战中的人物。这些独一无二的蒸汽朋克作品吸引了大批追随者,随着我的艺术不断发展,我继续专注于创作更复杂的作品。
