The classic Dalinian theme of time takes centre stage in this sculpture. Dalí's soft watch is draped against a tree whose roots entwine a stone. The watch is stretched, its malleable form seems to take the shape of the tree. The trunk sprouts new roots and leaves grow from the branches, symbolizing new life. In the sculpture, a crown adorns the watch. The terminology "crown of a watch" usually refers to the mechanical device which allows us to wind and set the hands of a clock. Without this important component, a watch won't wind and cannot keep time. Dalí plays with this notion, since time on Dalinian watch is timeless, irrevelant and cannot be set. Time reigns supreme over man, governing our existence in the real world, immutable and uncontrollable by man.
