Although manual typewriters are retired from daily use, they are not
forgotten. Imaginative designers are incorporating keys from vintage
typewriters and transforming them into a variety of jewelry for men and
women. Because the keys are antiques, they will vary in condition,
type style, text layout and color -- for example, the light keys will
vary in color from white to various shades of cream. The selection of
keys is always different depending on the availability of keys.

Our water resistant typewriter key quartz watch has a wristband made up
of random keys set in stunning
sterling silver. The watch is one inch in diameter, and the standard
size of the watch with a band of nine typewriter keys is about 7.5
inches. The band can be made with eight keys to fit a smaller wrist and
expanded to ten keys to fit a larger wrist. When measuring your wrist,
keep in mind that this is designed to fit loosely, like a bracelet -
not tight, like a traditional watchband.
