Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Gravity Watch
Besides their well known Pontos line,?Maurice Lacroix has a great number of interesting watches in their Masterpiece line.?We previously covered the Masterpiece Roue Carr��e Seconde watch a few years ago which has square and cloverleaf gears indicating the seconds. For 2014, The Masterpiece collection gets a model known as the Gravity which is a uniquely appealing piece from the brand.Maurice Lacroix has extended their haute horologerie "Masterpiece" line with the "Masterpiece? Gravity" which features a large balance wheel on the dial as part of an in-house made movement. According to Maurice Lacroix, this is the first watch equipped with an oscillator assortment (balance roller, lever and escapement wheel) entirely made of silicon, which has a lighter weight than metal and no need for lubrication.What's not to like with an escapement that promises greater accuracy, less maintenance, and more resistance to magnetic fields?

Ulysse Nardin Moonstruck Watch

Sometimes being called "clockwork" or "Neo-Victorian" the style of using watch gears, movements, leather, bolts, and other implements of industrialization is becoming much more popular. While the steampunk genre has been around for a while, it has recently become something of a craze. Comic books are being modeled after the style, and movies made with a Neo-Victorian futuristic flavor. In some senses it is an evolution of the fantasy genre combined with science fiction, with a touch of alchemy.Of great interest are the crafts, objects and art that adorn the steampunk ideal. Rare are any mass produced steampunk accessories, but more common at individual artists who produce steampunk items of interest. No better way for these artists to offer such crafts on eBay. Here is one such artist with an interesting debut of such goods. Using watch parts, leather, and other craf
