In a dark corner of history, a brass clock emerges, bearing the memory of World War II, documenting one of the most devastating moments in history. It stopped ticking at 8:15 am, when an atomic bomb was detonated above the skies of Hiroshima, Japan.

According to RR Auction in Boston, this small melted clock went up for public auction and sold for over $31,000, alongside other historically significant artifacts.

Going back to the clock's history, sources indicate that it was recovered from the rubble of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, by a British soldier who was on a mission to provide emergency supplies and assess the reconstruction needs in Hiroshima.

Despite the fog that affected the clock's crystal due to the explosion, its hands stopped at 8:15 am, the moment when an American plane dropped the atomic bomb.

According to one of the officials at the auction, this piece not only serves as a reminder of the cost of war but also emphasizes the profound destructive capabilities that humanity must strive to avoid. This wristwatch, for example, represents the timeless moment that forever changed history.
