I do love all things Van Gogh

This would be one cool watch to have. "Van Gogh's self-portrait and Sunflowers are among the works painted inside the watch An artist has painted three microscopic re-creations of Van Gogh masterpieces on a watch mechanism. David A Lindon, from Bournemouth, said he spent six months rendering the 0.5mm (0.02-inch) paintings by hand. Mr Lindon, who began work as a micro artist in 2019, has previously miniaturised works by Banksy, Monet and Munch. The watch, which is on display at an art gallery in Shropshire, is being offered for sale for £150,000."
