Vintage Military watch "Evolution of Artillery", WOSTOK Komandirskie, Manual Winding, working condition.

Artillery is a class of heavy military ranged weapons that launch munitions far beyond the range and power of infantry firearms.
Early artillery development focused on the ability to breach defensive walls and fortifications during sieges, and led to heavy, fairly immobile siege engines.
As technology improved, lighter, more mobile field artillery cannons developed for battlefield use. This development continues today; modern self-propelled artillery vehicles are highly mobile weapons of great versatility generally providing the largest share of an army's total firepower.

On the dial we see drawings
1. 19th century cannon
2. gun of world war 1
3. Mortar (weapon)
4. RSZO Smerch "- Soviet and Russian multiple launch rocket system of 300 mm caliber.
5. space weapons of the USSR
 
IS ARTILLERY THE GOD OF WAR?

But why?
First of all, because for centuries artillery has hit the enemy at a distance. Infantry and cavalry needed to get close to the enemy to fight.
But the artillery of the late XIX century could already kill for many kilometers. And from closed positions - when the shots are not even visible.
