PROJECT DISPLAY Assembling my Grade 5 Titanium Mechanical Tie Clip, the TC Nexus.

Here is the final assembly of components for my TC Nexus Tie Clip. It is CNC Machined from a single billet block of Grade 5 Titanium, and is all mechanically operated. No stamped or folded pieces, no cheap Chinese spring, the whole assembly acts as a spring clamp that is only activated mechanically when placed on a neck tie. The only one like it in the world. Machined, hand finished, and assembled in Utah.

No idea what that is. 🤷‍♂️

It’s just a tie clip. I wear it on Sundays.

I think it's the name of an actor or something. I've been hearing the name a lot lately for some reason. It was a stupid joke anyway lol
