The history of time goes back millennia. For thousands of years, people have come up with various devices for measuring and tracking time. The use of the sexagesimal system to measure time was invented in Sumer around 2000 BC
From the Egyptian sundials, the British Isles' Stonehenge to the
exquisite movements of John Garrison, Abraham-Louis Breguet, Carl
Faberge and modern electronic chronometers, this way of increasing
precision has not changed time itself. But it brought additional comfort
to our lives.In the recent past, only a select few could afford to have
a personal device for measuring time. Therefore, the center of each
city was a public clock. They were located, as a rule, on clock towers,
the sound of their bells was heard by the entire population.
The
architecture and arrangement of the towers were the subject of
competition. Rich cities built high-rise masterpieces, poor villages
were content with simple wooden turrets. This rivalry continues to this
day. The tallest clock tower today is the Abraj Al-Beit Hotel in Saudi
Arabia. Its height is 601 meters. The most famous and beautiful clock
towers are London's Big Ben, Philadelphia City Hall, Warsaw Palace of
Culture and Science and other works of architects and watchmakers.
The "Metal Time" team invites you to become the master of time, at
least for a short period, and assemble the clock tower yourself. The
Master of Time model is a tower of a small European town. This low-rise
structure is in harmony with the surrounding landscape. Just as
unobtrusively and stylishly, this model will decorate your interior.
The original hand-assembled watch is a testament to the originality
of the owner, his tendency to accuracy and fidelity of the decisions
made.
