1650 This elegant clock has a plain gilded case, the only decoration being the four lion feet at the corners. It strikes the hours and has an alarm, which is set by moving the small central hand to the desired time on the silver setting disc. The time is shown by the hand attached to the revolving alarm disc. Although clocks of this type were popular in Germany, few were made in england, making this example a rare survival.
