Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used, usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britannia that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. This cool steampunk designed octopus clock is a perfect accent for lovers of all things steampunk. The octopus has a early 20th Century diving helmet over its head, and the clock fits into the where the front glass would be. Made of cold cast resin, he has a wonderful metallic bronze finish, with hand-painted brass and copper accents. The quartz clock runs on a lithium cell battery. He measures 5.2 inches tall, 5.9 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep. Hell make a great gift.
