This clock was made by Johannes van Ceulen around 1680. After Christiaan Huygens demonstrated the feasibility of the pendulum for regulating a clock, wealthy homeowners developed a taste for pendulum clocks. Huygens worked with several Dutch clockmakers, including his neighbor Johannes van Ceulen, who made this table clock. It is one of the earliest clocks with a pendulum.
