Memento Mori is an exclusive watch design by Fiona Krüger. Fiona is a recent graduate of ECAL/university of Arts and Design Lausanne and this is her thesis project:

“Memento Mori reinterprets the theme of mortality in horlogery, drawing inspiration from the 17th century skull watch of Mary Queen of Scotts, Mexican Dia de Los Muertos decoration and beautifully decorated skeleton movements found in today’s luxury watches.
This contemporary time piece highlights the value of watchmaking by drawing our attention to the watch movement. The pieces of the movement make up the form of a skull. Each piece is decorated and assembled by hand resulting in a unique timepiece rich in tradition, know how and symbolism.”

Army Men by GOOD ART HLYWD:

“Technically not all these guys are Army men, some are Soldiers and Marines. And they’re true to the original Vietnam era Louis Marx & Co. toys you grew up with… with a couple differences. Their heads have been substituted for a Jack Skull and these ones are solid Sterling Silver. They’ll capture the imagination and rekindle that urge to play. A drop of crazy glue on the base and you can keep your own security force perched atop your monitor and looking over your shoulder. ”
