Engraved Tudor bronze

One of a kind and maybe the first of its kind. Deeply engraved and sculpted bronze Tudor in floral arabesque. The bronze is perfect for engraving.

I removed the movement and crown, but I couldn't remove the bezel because of a plastic or nylon retainer inside that gets trashed when you pull the bezel, and there are no spares anywhere in the US. This complicated matters but I was able to complete the work :)

That's a great watch for that engraving. I bet it's going to be sick in a few years the way the bronze changes color

Well done. Beautiful art. I am sure you could find an interested buyer. I would be curious if it added value or subtracted.

Very nice engraving work! Never seen anything like it. Reminds me of James Trussart guitars (for the guitarists) that feature elaborate engraving. Cheers!
