    About

    Ethereal Beauty in Mechanical Parts

    I am Justin Gershenson-Gates, the thinker and assembler behind A Mechanical Mind. The grandson of a railroad man, the son of a gearhead, my life has been filled with all things mechanical. As a child, I would take my toys apart in order to see how they worked, but was never able to put them back together again. Now, I take dead old watches from the top drawers of the world, and rearrange their bits and widgets into whimsical designs.

    My aim is to show the beauty of the mechanical world, a place generally hidden from the public behind metal and glass. My pieces display the more delicate and ephemeral side of gears, rather than the cold, hard factory feel they normally portray. Please contact me at jmg [!at] amechanicalmind.com or jmg.amechanicalmind [!at] gmail.com with any questions you may have.

    Hello and welcome to A Mechanical Mind!

    Here you can find whimsical recycled jewelry to wear while riding your bike down the longest hill in town.

    Designed by a mind whose gears never cease grinding away (especially at night, right before bedtime) these tiny treasures hopefully inspire ooohs, ahhhs, and a bit of the old neatos!

    Every gear and part on these pieces is hand picked, placed, and soldered together. These are not just old watches hot glued to a chain. These are truly unique and every single one has its own life, personality and original story within the "towns of the world."

    Shipping
    Domestic (within the US) Shipping is through USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation, insured to the amount of your purchase. We ship within 1 business day of receiving your order. If we are unable to ship within 1 business day, that information will be provided on our main page under the banner of our shop.

    International packages are shipped using USPS priority (generally 6-10 business days) insured. 6-10 days is average, although in some cases due to customs inspections, delivery can be delayed by as much as several weeks. Tracking information is not available with this basic shipping option. The number that is provided is a customs identifier number, not a tracking number. We understand international shipping is expensive, so please contact us if you would prefer a non-trackable, uninsured shipping method (not the safest method, and may result in lost packages). IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL BUYER, PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CUSTOMS (DUITES) FEES IMPOSED BY YOUR IMPORTING COUNTRY . *****ALL INTERNATIONAL BUYERS MUST PROVIDE A TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR CUSTOMS.*****

    We cannot wait for you to have your items in hand, so purchases will ship the next day in most cases. In some cases, we ship same day.
