Jun 15 2007Mechanical Watch Movement Cuff Links
These mechanical watch movement cuff links are made from 20th century gears, levers, and jewels, and set in 18K gold. The watch innards were all taken from authentic vintage watches from the early to mid 20th century. Judging from their description I can't figure out if they're functional though. At $1,400 a set you'd expect them to be, but there's no face so they'd just be rotating openly on your sleeves. Which would be cool as hell, until you got your tie stuck in the gears and killed yourself. They'd find you dead on the ground, suffocated to death with your wrist stuck to your throat.

I gotta ask...
Who has shirts without buttons?

Hey, smartass, cufflinks aren't the same as buttons. They are merely meant as decorative pieces to replace the buttons on the sleeves of ... oh god I am too drunk. I have shirts with buttons. All my shirts have buttons, even my slipknot shirt has buttons. Once again, too drunk.

Wow.
Mechanical Cuff Links.
Why can't I have a mechanical zipper? My hand strays to my crotch far too often as it is, going to the bathroom is just too tempting.
