wall clock - Steel, Wood - 2026 - ride old bikes

Wall clock created by a contemporary artist (biography attached) who used two brake discs and a clutch disc from a motorcycle, assembled with a hand-made wooden inner part treated with flame to achieve an antique effect. Inside, fragments of vintage musical scores were applied along with stickers bearing the emblematic phrase "ride old bikes." Reference numbers (12, 3, 6, 9) were hand-engraved on the clutch disc and painted with black and gold enamel on the surface of the brake disc, with Japanese ideograms. The clock mechanism is a classic AA 1.5V battery. It will be carefully packed and shipped by courier.
