Time is one of the most complex and captivating of which are part of the human universe. The relentlessness, the ruthlessness, the nostalgia, the lost past, or uncertainty about the future are characteristics of the passage of time. It is divided into seconds, minutes or days, but in other cultures did moons or seasons.
What seems clear is that, at least for humans, time passes.
The Catalan painter Salvador Dalí brought a new vision of time with one of his famous artistic discoveries. In 1931, his painting "The Persistence of Memory" inquired about the mysteries of time and character. Several watches, symbol of the same, visually represented in a surprising way. They had lost their rigidity and showed soft, as if made of a viscous material that changes continuously.
Dali, famous surrealist member, found this book one of their artistic peaks and soon became one of the most famous paintings of the twentieth century. The MoMA in New York has as one of its greatest treasures. But there's another way to pay tribute to this picture and its major findings without having to go to New York.
You can take this soft watch home and place it on a table. Directly inspired piece of "The Persistence of Memory", this watch is working properly, but it shows a special and different. If you are an art lover, you're attracted to surrealism or Dalí popular figure, and are looking for an original watch, take home this wonderful piece and starts playing time otherwise. How? That's up to you.
Dalí, as usual in surrealist aesthetics, left the interpretations of his work. The soft watches may refer to the loss or transformation of collective memory over the years, or the repetition of historical errors. It can also be interpreted in a more personal way, referring to a new way to use the time, without the rigidity of modern times. And besides the watches, the table in question also contains classic enigmatic symbols in Catalan painter, such as ants.
This watch has no ants soft, but represents a tribute to one of unrepeatable works of art in history. A perfect gift for a lover of surrealism.
