Turning a surprise bag cat clock into a functional wristwatch.

Turning a surprise bag cat clock into a functional wristwatch.

Recently, my family and I went on a two-week trip to Norway and also had the pleasure of stopping in London. While I was there, I obviously got gifts for my friends and family, but I was also lucky enough to be surprised by my girlfriend with an assortment of gifts from her more local adventures while I was away.

One of these, with her knowing my love for any timekeeping device, one of those gifts was obviously a clock: an adorable cat clock that came from one of those blind bag shops in NYC (I attached a picture of it). Because I have the mindset of, "if it can be taken apart, then I must try"; I immediately began examining it and found that there was only one screw holding the entire thing together. However, while I was doing this, my girlfriend looked at me and said, "Hey, you should make a watch out of that!" We continued to chat for a bit, and I realized that she was actually serious about me wanting to make this lovely gift she got me into something completely new.

So, that's my question for all of you. I'm already about halfway done making this thing into a working watch, but I wanted to see what my market was before I fully commit. At the very least, I'm going to go all the way with the one I have (because I've already committed, and I only need to 3D print a few parts, and I'm done, so there's no reason not to). So if you're curious but not willing to commit yourself (like my dumbass did), feel free to follow along on my socials, where I'll keep you all updated.
