The unique Watchcraft by Eduardo Milieris timepieces marry a state-of-the-art quartz movement with the rich patina of an ancient artifact. Each is carefully crafted in the artist’s New York studio using various combinations of textured and ‘weathered’ silver, brass and copper. You can be sure no one else will be wearing something like it, and it can be adjusted to fit most men and women — just let 16 Hands know the wrist size and they’ll size it before it ships.
