The idea of "Memento Mori" has been a common theme in art and literature throughout history. It is a reminder that our time on earth is limited and that we should make the most of every moment. In Freemasonry, this theme is woven into the teachings and rituals of the fraternity, reminding members to live a life of integrity, compassion, and service.

As Freemasons, we are called to be leaders in our communities and to serve as examples of moral and ethical behavior. By remembering that our time on earth is limited, we are motivated to make a positive impact on the world and to leave a lasting legacy for future generations. So let us all remember to live our lives with purpose and to make the most of every moment, knowing that our time on this earth is precious and fleeting.

An automaton pocket watch is a mechanical watch with small, animated figures or scenes that move when the watch is wound or a button is pressed
