Inspired by modern-age designers like Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy,Gordon Bennett of Brooklyn creates one-of-a-kind Robots out of
antiquated products of the 40's and 50's. Obviously for thematic
purposes, I've highlighted the clock-themed 'Telechron' Robot (right) and DeJur (left) with clock-dial feet but felt this was the first off-topic story worthy at The Watchismo Times.
Many are indeed built with old clock parts but that's only the
beginning, Gordon assembles them with an uncanny ability to nurture
distinct personalities by reincarnating vintage products including 8mm
cameras, taillights, voltage meters, tv antennae fire alarms, spark
plugs, plumbing hardware, heaters and sewing machines into these
immobile robotic sculptures. They are built between 15" and 35" high
and can be purchased from $850 & up at bennettrobotworks.com
