In this article I will tell you about an interesting invention of the late 18th century, namely an amazing watch created by one master. To this day, many questions and mysteries arise regarding their creation.
But first, it is worth saying a little about the person who created this watch. Ivan Kulibin was born in 1735, was an inventor mechanic, he became famous for his watches, but also created other projects.
But why did this invention become so famous and at the same time, mysterious? The fact is that Ivan Kulibin did not have an engineering education, as well as many necessary knowledge, but his invention is even now considered a genius.
And now, closer to the clock. They are in the form of a goose egg, in a gold frame and a complex mechanism inside.
Surprisingly, it is known that 427 parts fit inside this small "egg". It is clear that they show the time, but besides this, they beat every hour, half an hour and even a quarter.
And even that is not all. Every hour there is a small scene, which is simply amazing in small details. The door starts to open, where there are figures of warriors, angels, as well as the "tomb of the Lord".
The watch was so amazing that according to history, Catherine II accepted it as a gift.

The mechanism is so complex, with small but numerous details, that the official version of their creation is being questioned. Moreover, they were supposedly created by a man, without the necessary education and knowledge.
I will not say that the watch was created by some highly developed civilization, but the fact that the official version may not be the same as it is believed should not be ruled out.
There were too many amazing inventions in the XVIII-XIX centuries, even for our time, created by one person and, as a rule, they were all without the necessary knowledge, technology and education.
