Table clock

Ceulen, Jan van, c. 1700 - c. 1725

This clock not only tells the time, it also gives the date and the phases of the sun and the moon. It has a movement with nine bells that can play ten melodies. In the early 18th century a timepiece with so many different functions was still a rare and precious object.
