Steampunk watch made by Olga
Steampunk is a style that involves steampower still being in use while putting a futuristic spin on things. Its a style that I am fond of and they have some beautiful jewellery available in this style. This is why I am so undecided on this watch. It seems to be mixing in the punkish leather cuff with the mechanicalness of the steampunk style which I'm not too certain of how successful that idea was. The watch face is also lacking the steampunk style. Normally there is even more elaborate detail. Another thing that I'm not too fond of is the colour scheme... Steampunk is known for the brass and copper type colours so the black and silver detract from the steampunk side of things.
That being said, when I view this as a punk/grunge watch with a steampunk edge to it, its actually not that bad. I have seen much more successful steampunk watches so know that there are better examples out there.
