I saw an article about this artist last month where he did a collaboration to actually create a real life watch that looked like his artwork. https://hypebeast.com/2022/10/labeg-wmt-watches-ugly-cardboard-irl-collaboration

It's artistic. I guess he chose to make a Speedmaster out of paper because the idea of making plastic ones was already taken.

How can you not like this guy? He's an artist who likes watches but can't afford them so makes his own. That's just pure joy. Much respect and thanks for sharing.

Great story and very creative. Hopefully the brands won't send him cease and desist orders now that this has been publicized.
