Keyturn
the Tinker

Meet Keyturn the Tinker, a sprightly little automaton with a wind-up key in its back that’s the heart of its operation. This curious contraption is the embodiment of Jasper Hawthorn’s playful side, a nod to the nostalgia of clockwork toys and the magic of mechanics.

Crafted with precision, Keyturn’s body is a recycled oil can, sturdy and round, giving it a robust base to wobble but never fall down. Its head, a curious collection of metal with two peephole eyes, turns with a ratchety charm, surveying the world with a whimsical wonder.

The wind-up key on Keyturn’s back isn’t just for show; give it a twist, and the robot comes to life with a series of ticks and tocks, reminiscent of a time when toys required imagination to come alive. Keyturn doesn’t just sit on the shelf; it represents the countless hours Jasper spends in his workshop, winding up ideas to let them walk, discovering where they might go. It’s a testament to the belief that sometimes, the simplest joys can be found in the turn of a key and the dance of a machine made with love.
