The metal hands are unornamented.The Industrial Revolution brought fundamental changes not only in the economy, but also in society and in ways of life. Ever more developed technology required greater precision in timekeeping, finally leading to the widespread introduction of concepts such as opening hours and punctuality.

Morcillo collection.Inventory number: GFA-042720-001Bibliography:Juan Garmendia Larrañaga, Juan. Artesanos relojeros.
