This is a Grafton wall clock by Simon Willard that I have been making from scratch for a few years now. There is only one of these known to have been made back in 1797. I only have a few pictures to work from and have to guess at some of the details.
It has an 8 day time only weight driven movement, case and dial that was completely made by yours truly.

This is the most complex quartz watch I have ever worked on and I think the most complicated quartz watch ever mass produced. It was made by Citizen and under the Noblia model back in the early 1990’s and parts or replacement movements are absolutely unavailable.
There are 4 coil stepper motors and features a perpetual calendar. There 8 hands total that give day, month, day of week, hour, min, sec, zodiac sign and year.

Here is a wonderful Anglo-English clock from the 1870’s
This was a clock style that was sold in England and the continent which featured an American movement (which was much less expensive to make than English movements) and an English made case.
Many of these were then exported to the USA.
