Artist Dan Tanenbaum, a 48-year-old watch collector in Toronto, creates incredible sculptures of everything from trainers to model motorbikes by using antique watch parts. /VCG Photo
Dan usually takes 20-30 hours to complete a piece of work, which has its distinctive personality. As a canny artist, he has gained a mass following on all kinds of social media platforms and holds his own work's exhibition worldwide several times. /VCG Photo
Transitioning from an early career as a director for a leading advertising agency, Dan now starts an online company as an entrepreneur. He sells these intricate models encrusted in hundreds of random watch components between 350 and 20,000 U.S. dollars, even though they are made from junk. /VCG Photo
About 20 years ago, when Dan's mother started collecting vintage costume jewelry, Dan discovered his interest for collecting vintage timepieces. In his view, while the watch parts represent the internal working of a complicated organ, the piece also represents time itself. /VCG Photo
