“If you don’t like your toy, it cannot be good enough for poor children either. That is exactly why, since they have less than others, poor children must get beautiful things”. (Elena di Savoia)

The memorial clock Jelena - An open hands Queen is dedicated to Montenegrin princess and the last Italian Queen Jelena Petrović Njegoš (Elena di Savoia) (1872-1952). For her humanitarian actions she received the English, German, Spanish, Russian and Serbian Medals of Honour.
