MAKE pal Charlie Visnic, of the wonderful creativity blog the b-roll, was inspired by Matt Mets’ post on how a mechanical watch works. Charlie decided to open up a pocket watch he had and do some macro photography. The resulting video, backed by a soundtrack of his own, created with a punchcard roll music box, is quite charming and magical.
