Clock Watch with Sundial
Case of gilt brass, signed: Jan Jansen Bockels Inv et Sculpt
Movement of gilt brass and steel, partly blued, signed: Ian Ianssen Bockeltz van Aecken
Jan Jansen Bockeltz (d. 1626)
Dutch (Haarlem), ca. 1605-1610
Accession # 17.190.1603
The engravings on the dial personify the Four Seasons. The dial also shows the phases and the age of the moon in its monthly cycle, the day of the month, and the number of days in each month. The sundial inside the cover can be used for setting the watch. The disc for setting the alarm is a replacement, as are the hands.
