We care about eagles
New Era in Craftsmanship
Pioneering a new era in craftsmanship, Metal Time Workshop proudly announces the creation of an unprecedented marvel – the world's first mechanical moving bird, meticulously crafted from stainless steel. Drawing inspiration from the symbol of Nation Unity, the American Eagle, this innovative masterpiece pays homage to the legendary bird's historical significance.
Today, we celebrate the majestic eagle and all it represents: the freedom, the nation's enduring legacy, and the resilience in overcoming any challenge.
The bald eagle is a majestic creature known for its longevity, embodying the enduring vision our founding fathers had for our nation. William Barton, one of the designers of the Great Seal of the United States, noted, "The eagle displayed is the symbol of supreme power and authority, and signifies Congress, and that the olive branch and arrows that it holds in its talons are the powers of peace and war."
The American Eagle: A Cultural Icon
Long before it became a national symbol of the United States—representing freedom, strength, and independence—the bald eagle was already revered by many Indigenous peoples of North America.
Among the Iroquois, the eagle is honored as a guardian of the skies, often depicted perched atop a pine tree as a powerful symbol of strength and resilience. The Plains tribes viewed the eagle as part of the sacred cycle of life and rebirth, believing it carried prayers to the spirit world. For the Choctaw, the eagle represents peace and serves as a bridge to the upper world of the sun, embodying wisdom and balance.
The Sioux tribes regard the bald eagle as an ancestral symbol, deeply tied to identity and spiritual guidance, while the Pawnee people associate the eagle with fertility and protection—reflecting its fierce devotion to guarding its young high above the earth. Across generations, eagle feathers were used in ceremonies and honors, symbolizing courage, leadership, and a close connection between humanity and the divine.
Intriguing Facts about these birds
Exceptional Eyesight
American eagles are famous for their exceptional eyesight, which is several times sharper than that of humans. This powerful vision allows them to spot fish or small animals from great heights while soaring.
Their keen eyesight gives them a major advantage when hunting, helping them detect movement and focus on prey with incredible precision.
Lifelong Mates
Eagles typically form lifelong mating bonds, staying with the same partner year after year. These strong pair bonds help them work together efficiently to build nests, protect their territory, and raise their young. By remaining with a trusted mate, eagles increase their chances of reproductive success and survival.
Survival Adaptations
Strong wings and broad wingspans enable efficient soaring and long-distance travel, conserving energy while hunting and migrating.
Their sharp talons and hooked beaks allow them to catch, grip, and tear prey with ease, while exceptional eyesight helps them spot food from great distances.
Enormous Nests
Their nests can grow to several feet wide and weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds as the eagles add new material each breeding season. Built high in tall trees or on cliffs, the massive nests provide safety, stability, and protection for eggs and eaglets.
Embark on a Journey of Discovery
Witness the powerful convergence of art and engineering as the steel American Eagle comes to life, capturing not only the bird’s striking physical form but also the resilience, adaptability, and commanding spirit that define this majestic species.
Crafted with precision and purpose, it reflects the eagle’s role as a symbol of strength, freedom, and vision—transforming cold steel into a living expression of motion, balance, and enduring power.
About the Creators
Behind this extraordinary project stands a team of designers and engineers, united by a passion for pushing boundaries and crafting powerful, meaningful creations inspired by the spirit and legacy of American history.
Built Through Perseverance
Creating The Great Eagle isn’t just a design process — it is nearly a
two-year journey of passion, perseverance, and engineering endurance.
What began as a bold idea evolved through more than 30 unique prototypes, each rigorously tested, refined, and reimagined to solve the complex mechanical and aesthetic challenges of bringing this majestic creature to life in steel.
Every detail — from the articulated wings to the symbolic armor — has been perfected through countless iterations. The result is not just a mechanical model, but a tribute to craftsmanship,
symbolism, and the spirit of unity.
Endless testing. Countless redesigns. Relentless pursuit of perfection.
Because true innovation doesn’t come easy — but the results are worth it.
No pain, no gain
