The eightday movement of this example has rack-and-snail striking and bolt-and shutter maintaining power. It has an unusual duplex escapement that was apparently invented by the clockmaker and used in a small number of his clocks. The maker of Delanders distinctive case is unknown. One of several variants of the same model, this case has a number of features that are rare for the period: the chamfered corners of the base and hood, the hexagonal panel in the base, and the shape of the low broken-arch dial, which is repeated in the outline of the top of the door to the trunk. The dome at the top of the hood is a later addition, as are the finials.. Longcase clock with calendar.

Date: ca. 1640.Trained as a goldsmith, Edward East was a founding member of the London Clockmakers' Company in 1631. A successful maker of both clocks and watches throughout the Commonwealth period, he remained a royalist and was appointed clockmaker in 1660 to the newly restored King Charles II (1630-1685). The plain, almost egg-shaped watch known as a Puritan watch is commonly thought to have been developed in England in reaction to the elaborately decorated watchcases of the earlier seventeenth century. Watches of the same variety, however, are known to have been made in the Dutch cities of Haarlem and The Hague from about 1625. This elegant example has a worm-and-wheel set-up for the mainspring, a pinned-on cock with a beautifully executed openwork floral design, elegant pillars of a type known as Egyptian, and a gut fusee.

This console clock is a simplified version of a model introduced by Boulle.Men's watch made of silver -plated copper with key, anonymous, c. 1800 - c. 1815 Men's watch from silver -plated copper, with two white -entered dials. 3 hands on both plates.

The engraved band on the side of the case reproduces a 1549 print by Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550) titled Triumphal Procession of theNoble Glorious Women, which was also used as a model for the reliefs on the base of the clock. The clock is signed by Caspar Behaim. Although it is often possible to trace the sources of their designs, very little is known about sixteenth-century clock casemakers.

The oval silver cabinet has no glass, so that the lid must be opened to see the silver dial, with only an hourly guide. The timepiece has a levernon, which is connected by a chain to a sneak, which is mounted on the first wheel. The force is transferred by three wheels to the last wheel, the so-called Echapementsrad that converts the rotating movement of the wheels into the back-and-again movement of the balance. Here the Echapement is the so-called Spillegang, in which the Echapements-Rad in turn pushes two protrusions on the balance shaft in the opposite direction. The wheel of the balance, which slows down the back-and-again movement through its mass, is located under the beautifully processed gorge on the back platin. The course of the watch can be regulated in two ways, of which there are two dials on the back slatin. The largest of the two, in the middle of the top, is attached to the pivot of the leveAntique Black Forest clock with apple rose motifClock watch. Culture: Chinese.

An alternative to expensive tall case clocks, shelf clocks were more affordable in the early 19th century. On this piece, Benjamin Torrey used a technique called eglomise, in which paint is applied to the back of a glass pane so that the reverse image is visible to the viewer. The romanticized pastoral scene and the decorative motif that borders both the upper and lower cases evince the design possibilities in use during the Neoclassical period. This particular clock is rare in that it retains both its original glass and its striking mechanism. A prized possession, it remained in the Torrey family until the Great Depression..

Religious references in early clocks reflect the Renaissance linking of science and the cosmos to the idea of divine order. This clock displays the hours, days, and a wealth of celestial information. Though not accurate timekeepers, early clocks were valued for their craftsmanship and technical ingenuity: luxury items designed to educate and impress.
