This round slate coaster features the intricate inner workings of a mechanical watch, including interlocking gears, screws, bridges, wheels, and precision components. The highly detailed engraving creates the appearance of looking directly inside a vintage timepiece. Natural variations in the black slate give the design an industrial, handcrafted character, while the contrasting stone-gray engraving allows each mechanical element to stand out. It’s an ideal project for watch enthusiasts, engineers, collectors, or steampunk décor fans.
