An eco-friendly clock or award to drive your time or commemorate a special time on the road of life.

What customers are saying...


"The (license plate gear) awards look great!  I was very pleased. It's especially neat that the license plates correspond with each state/ province.  Thank you for your craftsmanship and for your attention to detail - it shows.  I would recommend your work and service to others." - L. Franceschini, Stantec Consulting

"Everybody loved it (piston rod trophy)!  It was a huge hit.  No one has seen anything like it – so it’s really cool to be able to give someone a “one-of-a-kind” type gift.  The guys in our office were actually debating what kind of vehicle the piston came from." - T. Vermillion, STRONG, LLC

"The (license plate gear) clocks were a hit and the talk of most of the CEO’s in the room. The clocks were placed at each place setting at their table. It was amazing to see these multimillion dollar business moguls walking out of the event with the clocks in hand. I can not tell you how pleased we were to give such a “knock out” gift. It could not be more perfect." - J. Smith, Charter One Bank (sponsor of the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, MI.)

The discovery process involves finding and acquiring discarded or obsolete car parts, retired license plates, car emblems and tags that have a story to tell.

The artistic process
involves transforming the rescued car parts, license plates and other automotive artifacts into cool clocks and awards for the unique home, office, den, garage or special event.  With the recent struggles and rebound of the automotive industry and car capitols like Detroit - where many of the parts originated from - the art pieces become even more collectible, historic and valuable.

name and are mounted on recycled car parts.  The clocks are powered by a precise Quartz component with metal hands.

Organizing an eco event?  Gear up with our unique auto part awards personalized with engraving and choice of license plate.

Cool men's gift, eco business gift, green corporate award or decor for anyone who likes cars, license plates or recycled art.
Like the look of car engine timing chain and gears without a license plate dial?  See bottom of page for more.

What was its former function?
We all know what license plates are used for but what about timing gears (cam and crank) and chain?  Fun fact:  The gears and chain connected
to the engine camshaft and crankshaft and played an important role in accurate timing for performance and fuel economy. Timing gears (and chain)
are usually replaced when overhauling an engine rather than take a chance with worn parts.  That's good for us for making more clocks!
