The Hammer.

A long and meticulous mutation will modify the tool and give it a definitive shape for a specific use. Evolution will not be stopped, however, in search of the perfect harmony between form and function, the watchmaker's hammer is a masterpiece of balance.

At the centre of the steel mass, the eye receives a handle that each hand adjusts to suit it for accuracy and flexibility. The shape of the handles undergoes imperceptible variations. They are important enough to change the behaviour of the tool if it changes hands.

On his anvil, the watchmaker does not forge but rivets, redresses, alters parts, an axle, a wheel.
