I did an assignment designing a ring that was influenced by steampunk (i failed miserably) i thought i would be able to find an old clock and glue bits and pieces together.... but ah how i was wrong... because nowadays everything is fucking digital. and like mr eric, i had to hand cut cogs, and it really is frustrating. i admire greatly the exquisite work he has created, and inspired too. as a fellow jeweller, i can definately appreciate the hard work that went into this.

I love mechanical clocks and watches for reasons I can't quite put into words, but these...these take that into the realm of the sublime. Wow.

It's been a while since I've dug something of such aesthetic to this extent. Beautiful, imaginative and skillful. You're <i>doing it right</i>, mister Freitas. Unbelievably beautiful work.

Righteous! Eric, these are wonderful mate. All I can say is well done, and thanks. My next £200 is now earmarked.

I really want one. Far and away transcends ordinary S word. I love these because they seem more like anti-time devices...inventions made to pop the illusion of time rather than remind you of shit you gotta go do to get ahead. They remind you to just take a deep breath and revel in the artistry. Ahh! I really want one. Far and away transcends ordinary S word.
