Weird Watch Art By Dominic Wilcox
From time-to-time we come across art inspired by, or placed directly inside of, a watch or clock. An watches-dealer reader was nice enough to share with us the work of UK-born and -based Dominic Wilcox, who, among other things, has made wrist and pocket watch dials a palette for artistic expression.Wilcox calls these creations "Watch Sculptures" and they start with vintage wrist and pocket watches that he has acquired.
