Longcase clock with calendar ca. 1700 Clockmaker: Thomas Tompion This eight-day clock with anchor escapement and 11.4 seconds-beating pendulum is numbered 344. Although the seconds-beating long pendulum (approximately 39 inches in length) became standard for longcase clocks in the late seventeenth century, a few clockmakers experimented with longer pendulums. It proved remarkably difficult, however, to make them reliable, and only the best English clockmakers were successful. This example, measuring about 60 inches in length, produces a slow tick and necessitated a seconds dial with only four divisions of each five-minute interval. Tompion's fine workmanship and ingenious designs contributed greatly to the fame of English clockmaking. For another Tompion clock with an unusual movement, also in the Museum's collection, see 1999.48.2, known as the Graves Tompion.. Longcase clock with calendar. British, London. ca. 1700.

Tall-Case Clock 1765-80 Edward Duffield American This clock possesses a sophisticated weight-powered movement that runs for eight days and chimes on the hour. Its mahogany case, with intricate carving and appliqués, possesses a cockerel cartouche at the topa motif frequently seen on English and French clocks, but rarely on American examples. The cockerel may have been a reference to the Apostle Peter, patron saint of watchmakers, or to Christ’s proclamation at the Last Supper, "I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me" (Luke 22:34). Duffield was a leading Philadelphia clockmaker known for his friendship with Benjamin Franklin. He made clocks for Franklin’s family and served as executor of his estate.. Tall-Case Clock.

A compass is a navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth’s magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer (usually marked on the North end) free to align itself with Earth’s magnetic field. The compass greatly improved the safety and efficiency of travel, especially ocean travel.

The Narcissus Clock, 1776-80. Ormolu with white marble, bronze, enamel, glass, brass and tin.. Makers: Boulton & Fothergill.. In mythology Narcissus was a youth whose beauty was dazzling. One day a maiden who loved him in vain prayed that he might feel what it was to love and meet no return of affection. One day when he drank from a fountain he saw his own image looking back at him; thinking it was a beautiful water-spirit living in the fountain, he fell in love. Of course the image was a reflection, and Narcissus, not being able to touch the reflection, could only look at it. He faded away at the waterside, his body was replaced by the narcissus flower that we know today.
