Why is it masculine?
Reloj is masculine. While it does derive from Old French "horloge" (from Latin "horologium"), the gender assignment in Spanish is better explained by the noun's phonetic form ending in -oj. In Spanish, nouns ending in -oj are typically masculine (e.g., "trabajo", "consejo", "espejo"). This ending pattern is a more straightforward explanation for the masculine gender than invoking a gender reassignment from Romance languages, as the -oj suffix itself consistently carries masculine gender in Spanish.
