Initially conceived as a gift for Fiat customers, Pio Manzù's Cronotime table clock was subsequently produced and distributed by Ritz-Italora. The battery-operated Cronotime is made of a single piece of shaped ABS, 9 centimeters high and with a diameter of 7 centimeters. Its design recalls a component of the automotive engine. By rotating the two sections of the curved cylinder, you can orient and turn the dial, giving the Cronotime a practical and playful appearance.

To check the functioning, not having found the exact battery, we had to improvise by putting together more batteries in a handcrafted way. With this solution the clock worked, but only for a short time, it will be necessary to get the original battery for a correct functioning.
