# Wristwatch Motorcycle Models These Dmitry Khristenko Replicas are Inventive and Intricate By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-03-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dmitry-khristenko References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/19863/miniature-watch-motorcycles-by-dmitry-khristenko.html) & [dkart71.deviantart](http://dkart71.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=216) Artist Dmitry Khristenko knows how to recycle. He has created a slew of miniature motor-vehicle models made entirely from used wristwatches. A close look at any of the tiny replicas reveals an impressive degree of sophistication. Dmitry Khristenko does not simply slap and mold a few broken timepieces together to create the likeness of a motorcycle or jeep; he traces the most minute details of his vehicles muses and replicates them with an ingenious use of [wristwatch components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-mechanical-timepieces). Dmitry Kristenko takes the clock part of old watches for the wheels for his models. This is a fairly obvious use of such components. However, to mold a [motorcycle or car chassis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourbillon-baguette) from wristbands, straps and buckles is not as straightforward; details such as lights, gas tanks and mufflers plainly demonstrate Dmitry Kristenko’s eye for intricacy.
