Timepunk Necklace

The Timepunk necklace is a chain necklace with a round watch face as a pendant, on which three steampunk-style gears are attached. It is intended for men who want to complete their steampunk outfit with an eye-catching piece of jewelry, for a steampunk party or during carnival. The watch face has embossed numbers and minute markers, but no hands: the gears take their place.

Watch face, gears and links of the necklace

• The pendant is a round 4.5 cm watch face with embossed numbers and minute markers.
• On and next to the watch face are three gears in different sizes, one of which has a star-shaped center.
• The chain and pendant have the same distressed, gold-colored tint.
• The fine chain closes with a lobster clasp.
• The material is 70% iron and 30% zinc alloy.
• The necklace is from the Boland brand.

Why do gears and clocks belong in steampunk?

Gears and clocks belong in steampunk because that style imagines a fantasy world in which the technology of the steam engine and the mechanical clock was never overtaken. Steampunk mixes nineteenth-century clothing with visible mechanics, copper and brass tones, and science fiction. A watch face without hands with loose gears on it is therefore a recognizable symbol: it shows the inner workings of the machine instead of hiding them.

Wearing the Timepunk necklace at a steampunk party or in the parade

At a steampunk party, wear the necklace over a vest or an open shirt, so that the watch face remains visible in the middle of your chest. Combine the gold-colored tint with other accessories in brown, bronze, or antique gold, such as a top hat or goggles. If you are walking in the parade during carnival, hang the pendant outside your jacket, otherwise the jewelry will disappear under your clothes.
