Wanted: Leads on Steampunk watches

[missionman]

Hi Everybody
I've just joined as i work for a national newspaper in the UK and we'd like to do a feature on Steampunk watches.

It's all new to me so excuse the ignorance but if anybody could provide me with leads to makers of them, preferably ones that you can buy i'd be very grateful. i would need to be able to get hold of high res images of them. They would probably go over two pages with one or two main images and then lots of different smaller ones

We will obviously credit any inventors/websites, including where to buy so it's great publicity (we have millions of readers...).

I'm sure there must be well known makers and obviously I'll trace some down through Google etc but it would be great to get some pointers from people who know a lot more than me.

Thank you

Hello. I get a lot of these emails, thanks for your message.

On the actual listings on this site are links to the creator's site. Suekichi is the most prolific of watch creators, but he will not sell outside of japan. I own a few of his pieces of work, and can take high res photos if you wish, suitable for publication.
