I find this USB stick distasteful. It's not mechanical, all the gears do nothing. The designer took parts that had a precise function and rearranged them into something useless for appearance's sake. This is probably a weird reaction, but maybe other hackers felt the same way.

I felt the same way. Quick antidote here: http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/6278166_YCdn5

Misleading title. This is just a standard USB memory key decorated with some parts from a mechanical watch. Nice craftmanship though.

Sorry, I just took the title from the page.

You did the right thing. The title on the page you linked to was the misleading one, not much you can do about that.
