1700 This dial has a rare 'fly-back' hour hand. The hours are in a semi-circle and when the hand reaches 6 o'clock on the right, it flies back to the beginning. Minutes are shown on the small circular dial below. The inscription 'Nihil Sine Te' (nothing without you) suggests this was a gift. Peter Fardoil, London Fusee, verge escapement, mock pendulum, balance with spring (P&E CAI-2347)
