 18k gold skull watch dates to 1810 and had diamonds for teeth and eyes.  The enameled skull opens up to reveal the watch face and there is a small glass port under the skull to watch the movement operate.  This watch sold recently for $18,000.

extract-reality:

Various Wunderkammers from around the big old virtual world. Which basically means there is little info on artists/makers/owners. But, I mean, what does authorship even mean these days? Ooh, another time perhaps?! 

I’m drawn to the last image - the open space/working studio/wunderkammer - this is much like my space, only mine is much smaller and a little more wooden.

The general feel and look that I’m hoping to achieve for the degree show is the feeling of openness and honesty, yet with a respected privacy - the acknowledgements and appreciation for everything. OR indeed, sutin.
