Artist Gregory Grozos Converts Antique Pocket Watches Into Beautifully Detailed Miniature Worlds That You Can Carry Wherever You Go

He crafted miniature worlds inside pocket watches and pendants. He is Gregory Grozos, and he’s a Greek artist.

The inspiration behind Grozos’ artwork came from a mix of fantasy, steampunk, and classics. With each carefully handmade piece comes a story of a micro-universe. You’ll see little people in their tiny houses, offices, and nature spots.

“A few years ago, I had the idea of making an entire tiny world which a person can carry on him or her. I then started developing ways to do exactly that. My work is very painstaking, and most pieces take days or even weeks to complete.”

You may not be able to begin to imagine how numerous the elements each miniature has. You’ll see little trees, tiny gears, and miniature figurines. Some of these small worlds even look like they are fully functional factories. They’ve got teeny-tiny people working inside of them, handling the most complex of machines.

Meanwhile, you can also see pieces that house fairytale settings. If you love pocket watches, you’ll be absolutely fascinated by a mini “Jack and the Beanstalk“ portrayal inside of a pocket watch. Despite being so small, it houses the story pretty cleverly. You’ll see how Grozos managed to share the tale by making divisions in the 3D scene. Yes, the artist told the story through different levels—and they’re all connected by the enormous beanstalk.
