Footnotes
This movement has survived approximately 340 years and in that time has been removed from its original case and converted to conform to later fashion and technology. It is apparent that the clock was fitted with an added arch and two applied cartouches to the matted centre. Most importantly, the original maker's signature has never been concealed and the original engraved chapter ring can be easily re-instated by reversing the lugs (no extra holes were drilled into the dialplate when the ring was reversed).
