13th century.

Mechanical clocks began to develop. More than thirty testimonies are quoted from all over Europe at the end of the 13th century. In these texts we find the purchase of iron and weights and the acquisition of expensive clocks in monasteries, cathedrals and princely residences. These prices were often considerable: six marks for the clock of the monastery of Colmar in 1278, thirty pounds for that of Canterbury in 1292, fifty pounds for a simple repair or transformation of the clock of the cathedral of Sens in 1319.

Gradually, the mechanical clock, whose movement is permanently maintained by a motorised weight, replaced the boring water clock that had to be constantly cleaned and filled or emptied. It seems that these early clocks - like the water clocks - were first intended to strike a particular time (e.g. alarm clock) and a little later to strike different times of the day; these clocks were "blind": they had no dial! The striking mechanism was operated by one or more pins on a wheel of the mechanism.

This transfer of technology from hydraulic to mechanical power enabled the original purpose of the clock to be retained: the striking of a precise hour; this invention has therefore remained practically anonymous. It was not until a little later, in 1336, that an important innovation changed the history of clock-making: striking clocks.

Star Wars Porgs

Star Wars Porgs

“Long ago in a far, far away galaxy”, little hairy birds called porgs lived on the planet Ahch-To, an ocean world dotted with small islands, without a single continent.

The Porg and its inimitable cry is undoubtedly the star of the trailers for the eighth episode of the intergalactic saga Star Wars, The Last Jedi, The Porgs were imagined to mask the cries of the puffins that inhabit Skellig Michael, the Irish island on which the scenes were filmed, as digitally erasing the puffins' cries would have been extremely labour intensive.

This adorable little bird lives in nests on the cliffs by the sea and feeds on fish that it hunts in the sea. It has thick plumage and webbed feet, no beak, but a flat nose and forward-facing eyes. The babies, called Porglets, are fed by the parents until they are old enough to fend for themselves. 

Inspired by both puffins and penguins, it was the director of The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson, who came up with the name of the Porg, and its appearance is memorable and fleeting. The Porg appeared in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Skywalker's Ascension. Extremely cute, the Porgs are a huge hit with children, a cuddly gift idea for the little ones and star wars best gifts for fans who like to collect characters from the saga. An original Star Wars gift to discover on Gifts-custopolis. com.

Coloured mug with teenage birthday label to personalise

Coloured mug with teenage...

Human progress has been made through many small advances in habits and ways of doing things. One of these changes is undoubtedly the way of eating and the utensils and objects used, as we mentioned earlier in our articles on other mugs. Kitchen items have evolved over time according to cultures and needs. 

The mug is one of those famous everyday objects that have a history and whose usefulness is no longer in question.

The mug is now tending to be rivalled by the mug, which is a much more fashionable large cup used without a saucer. 

A mug is a large cylindrical container with a handle, without a saucer, that resembles a cup and is used in Europe and Quebec for drinking or measuring, and in North America only for drinking hot liquids.

A mug can also be made of clay, glass or enamelled metal.

Its use varies from region to region and it can be decorated and personalised as desired. Mugs can be of different colours, simple, fluorescent, flashy, etc. with sometimes a decoration or a colour inside according to your choice among our varied panels.  

A mug has the particularity of being able to be decorated according to the tastes and desires of everyone. They are also available in different sizes and formats.

The idea of giving a mug with a birthday label is a very natural one, especially when this custom ceramic mug is offered by a friend. This cool coffee mug cannot be refused. A colourful teenage birthday mug you can only find at Gifts-custopolis.com

Round metal box with artwork

Round metal box with...

Stamping Stamping is a technique for manufacturing and modifying objects from a flat, thin sheet of metal (a piece of metal obtained by rolling) whose shape cannot be developed from a mould (e.g. a one-piece car body). The raw material that has not yet been stamped is called Becker. Stamping is a technique widely used in the household appliances industry. Stamping is a technique of "plastic" deformation of the material: elongation or local constriction of the sheet to obtain the desired shape. Stamping is done with very powerful presses. Gifts-custopolis.com proposes metal tins with a lid that can be personalised with different decorations: Mother's Day, Secretaries' Day or professional birthdays, with an unforgettable holiday photo or with a photo of whoever you want. A white metal box personalised as a birthday gift, an unusual birthday gift idea, is already very nice, but decorated with a work of art on the lid it becomes totally unexpected, birthday gifts for a work of art enthusiast!
