Fabio de Sanctis, born in 1931, is an Italian sculptor with close ties to the Surrealists.
Faithful to this movement, in 1993 he worked on the audacious project of a "suitcase watch".
Ten numbered watches were produced between 1993 and 1995.
One of them is currently in the Clock Tower Museum in Rome.
