While steampunk is amazing, yes, I fail to see how that relates to the absolutely beautiful pocketwatch.

At first I thought it had something to do with Lovecraft, given how Cthulhu was lurking in the background there.

But that is quite the gorgeous pocket watch. I'm in need of buying one soon, though I have my eyes on another for about £60.

Wow, that's an absolutely wonderful watch you've got there.

Hey, that's the exact book I was talking about here, interesting.

But yes, awesome pocketwatch.

~B~

@Xae: It was actually marketed as a steampunk watch, but I suppose it's closer to certain Victorian watch designs.

Which is pretty much what steampunk is based upon, I guess? I don't really know.

And whoa where did all you people come from. But uh yeah, I decided the Necronomicon was a fitting background, lol.

I came from beyond the stars. And I suppose it is, given how lovely the cover looks.

Yeah, that's Victorian.

Steampunk is just a money-making word, nowadays. Everyone uses it, because it sells, regardless of how Steampunk something actually is.

Let's take your watch, for example. It's Victorian, maaaaybe clockpunk if we're feeling generous, because that's what it is: clockwork. If it were steampunk, it'd need more than what it is right now. Tiny boilers and tubing, maybe, and in a way that makes it look like they're functional.

I want one.

"Just glue some gears on it, and call it Steampunk

That's the trendy fashion nowadays

Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, cool watch bro. =)
