RP000242 Eye Of Time Clock with Compass Rose
This desktop watch was made originally to serve many purposes, it tells
time but it also houses a Compass Rose, it was originally designed for
travel (before electricity) therefore it had to be readable by candle or
fire light. Due to the magnification the lenses provided they could be
used to read maps and even start a camp fire.
The hero of our story is an anonymous watchmaker in Regency London. Trying to combine a travel clock that needs to be small while easy to read. Little would he know that his spherical desk watch would be a highly collectable treasure. In times of need the lenses doubled to read maps and light the safari-cooking fire.
