The theme is steampunk, and it is plain to see. The airplane is shaped like a jet with a pointed nose, modelled from faux leather and brass joined together and trimmed with gears that play up the mechanics. The background is a block of pressed wood, covered in granite film and strewn with many small gears in a gold and copper finish. The real surprise sits at the tail of the airplane: a working clockwork whose gears turn on their own. The still image becomes a small machine that genuinely runs.
