A friend of mine is making some driftwood hangings interspersed with jewelry and watches. She has asked that we donate any old pieces that we are now using. To my surprise, I found 10 old watches that I have had for years? How did that happen and why did I hang on to them? Watches can be recycled and or reusing into some very interesting works of art and or jewelry.

- 1,200,000,000 Watches are sold annually.
- The US buys 10.2% of all watches
- 53% of most watches are steel.
- If in working order, you can donate to a charity
- You might be able to sell at a scrap metal dealer.
That said, here are some fantastic watch reuse, in case you have a bunch of watches hanging around.

Hi, I can’t imagine the reuse of watches before finding this post. All pieces are creative. The cufflinks are really work of art.

The idea of recyclart.org impressed me.
