Art Deco Watches

I have never had much interest in jewelry, but I do like a nice watch.  Some of my favorites are the rectangle or square Art Deco style watches from the 1930's.  Dieselpunk posted two nice images of an original 1934 Cartier watch, as well as a modern replica.

One of the thousands of projects I want to try, but will probably never begin, much less complete, is a retro-style 1940's bus to RV conversion.  Modern Mechanix posted this article from the October 1937 issue of Mechanics And Handicraft to show how folks did it with (then) much newer vehicles.
