In 1932, the artist made an ink drawing of the object with the following inscription on the reverse: "Cut out the eye from the photograph of one who has been loved but is seen no more. Attach the eye to the pendulum of a metronome and regulate the weight to suit the tempo desired. Keep going to the limit of endurance. With a hammer well aimed, try to destroy the whole at a single blow". In the same year, Man Ray exchanged the eye on the metronome for a photograph of Lee Miller's eye. The bitter instructions on the drawing were motivated by the recent ending of Man Ray's relationship with Lee Miller.
