Watch and Case c. 1937

"Watch and Case" is a detailed technical illustration by Harry G. Aberdeen, created around 1937. Aberdeen meticulously rendered a pocket watch in both its assembled form and disassembled, showcasing the intricate inner workings of its fasolite escapement. This technical drawing style, often seen in engineering and design, emphasizes the precision and functionality of the watch. The image offers a glimpse into the artistry involved in horology, where mechanics meet aesthetics to create an object of both function and beauty.
