This landscape is broken up by one rigid and three soft
watches that lend the work many meanings. One of the soft
watches hangs from an olive‐tree branch; another, also
deformed, rests on an amorphous and apparently sleeping
figure that occupies the centre of the work. The face might well
be a self‐portrait of Dalí, for it bears a close resemblance to
other faces from that same period, such as the one shown in
the oil painting The Great Masturbator (1929), in which Dalí
depicts himself and identifies with the features of the Cap de
Creus rocks. The last soft watch is resting on a piece of
furniture located on the left‐hand side. Resting on its glass,
furthermore, we find a fly that invites us to create word‐plays
such as ʺtime fliesʺ. Each of the three soft watches is showing a
different time (appearing to be between 6 and 7 in the
afternoon evening, the time of dusk), hinting at the relativity of
the concept of time.
