Excalibur Table Ronde watch by Roger Dubuis relives the legend of King Arthur and his knights on a round table. Only this time, the round table happens to be the face of a watch. The dial of the watch has an appearance similar to the Winchester Round Table.

The gold figurines are captured in a 45 mm gold case with beveled edges. It has an 18 karat rose gold buckle that holds on to a crocodile leather strap.
Maximilian Büsser & Friends “MB&F” have come up with a brand new watch, the automobile inspired Horological Machine No.5.

Chicago-based jeweler Justin Gershenson-Gates took a break from jewelry designing to create magnificent insect sculptures that bask in the anatomy of watch parts with a touching of light bulbs for effect.

These sculptures are usually made in a single sitting that can last for as long as 12 hours. You can get hold of some of these sculptures over at Etsy.

Eyes of the ninja function as dials of the clock, separately showing the hours and the minutes.
