Mechanica was created with nineteen different recycled watch stems. Each stem was snipped into the correct size for a "bone" in each finger, and each bone was soldered together with lead free silver bearing solder to produce a finger. When all fingers were created, they were soldered together onto a watch plate. After the hand was formed and shaped into a clawlike grasp, it was soldered to a black watch face. This is a very special and one of a kind piece, never to be reproduced exactly.

Mechanica is 18mm wide and 21mm tall. It comes on an 18" antiqued silver plated chain with links measuring 1.7mm. Longer or shorter chains can be made to order, so let us know in the checkout section if you require something different.

Premium Sterling Silver Round Cable chains are also available at extra cost:

So what type of sautering gun do you use and which type of sauter do you use for different metals?

I'm trying to learn how to sauter so I can make things out of metal :)

Sorry, I'm not the best speller. There's no way to look up how to spell a word if the word is already spelled incorrectly. :(

Would you please disregard that error and answer my question?

Well first of all it's a soldering iron ;D second, I'm not the OP and third, the solder I use still has lead in it ;D works the best in my opinion, but it's not the safest thing LOL.
