This 'Star Wars' wristwatch will cost you as much as a new car

Whatever reasons people might have for buying this limited edition Star Wars watch, it's definitely not about knowing what time it is. It is simply to impress people. Because wearing a $28,500 timepiece means you're the kind of person who can afford a $28,500 timepiece.

Inspired by the Galactic Empire, this stainless steel chronometer is limited to 500 pieces. California-based luxury watch maker Devon Works says it has 350 individual parts, four time belts, four microstep motors and 313 electrical contacts. Covered with a black, diamond-like carbon coating, the timepiece also features an on-board microprocessor, multiple high-tech optical recognition cells, lubricant-free ruby bearings and a lithium-polymer cell that recharges wirelessly through an inductive charging tower.

The wristwatch has a Darth Vader helmet, a TIE fighter wing, an Imperial Crest and comes with a pair of TIE Fighter cuff links as well. For a closer look, check out this video:

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.
