Miniature Watch Sculptures, Dominic Wilcox

Take a look at these miniature watch sculptures by British artist, Dominic Wilcox.  I originally saw images of the sculptures on  the "It's Nice That" site, but the video on  the artist's YouTube channel better demonstrates the interplay between the subjects he features.  The artist designed this series "using a collection of vintage watches and customized model figures. By attaching tiny figures onto the second and minute hands of each watch, Wilcox has made unique, animated scenes from everyday observations and imagined situations."

I really like the "Oblivious i-Phone User" piece...
