David Sokosh is the subject of Etsy‘s latest production in the “Handmade Protraits” series. Formerly a gallery owner selling his art at Brooklyn’s DUMBO, before moving on as a purveyor of vintage items at the Brooklyn Flea, Sokosh began restoring antique clocks, eventually establishing Brooklyn Watches.

These unique creations can be found here or in-person at the Brooklyn Flea.
