What's their story?
Recycled Car Piston and Rod Clocks and Trophies
Recycled License Plate Car Part Clocks and
Award Plaques
Recycled Timing Chain and Gears Clocks
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.

What was its former function?
Fun fact:
A piston is
an engine component that fits snug and moves inside the engine

transforming the energy from the expansion of a burning gas into
mechanical power.
The rod connected to a piston
transmits the motion of the piston to an engine.

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

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!
Click on clock grid to see enlarged
representational design of your state. Actual
plate graphics and gear may vary.
Each clock will have 4 silver magnets (not shown) along gear
edge marking the time.
