Need a reminder to make sure you’re living every moment to the fullest? Fiona Krüger ‘s Momento Mori watch is one beautiful way to do just that in a stunningly unique way.

According to her website:

Memento Mori reinterprets the theme of mortality in horlogery, drawing inspiration from the 17th century skull watch of Mary Queen of Scotts, Mexican Dia de Los Muertos decoration and beautifully decorated skeleton movements found in today’s luxury watches.

This contemporary time piece highlights the value of watchmaking by drawing our attention to the watch movement. The pieces of the movement make up the form of a skull. Each piece is decorated and assembled by hand resulting in a unique timepiece rich in tradition, knowhow and symbolism.

Now, that’s a (time)keeper.
