Mullingar Pewter Mechanical Pocket Watch Claddagh/Ireland Design

This watch has an open-face design and allows reading the time without opening the watch. The design is that of the Claddagh taken from the famous love symbol designed in the town of Claddagh, Co. Galway by Richard Joyce back in the year 1689. The design is often used for wedding rings as it is based on the ring that Richard made for his bride to be. The symbolisms are "hands for friendship", "heart for love" and "crown for loyalty".
