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.
