Hannibal is depicted inspecting the rings of Roman Knights after the successful battle of Cannae (Italy) during the second Punic war.

A clock of comparable design is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, La Pendule Francaise, Paris 1997, p. 411, fig. G.
Another example (probably by Pierre-Francois Feuchère, circa 1821) is illustrated in Hans Ottomeyer & Peter Pröschel, Vergoldete Bronzen, München, 1986. p. 399, fig 5.18.18
A lithograph depicting the design of this clock is in the Bibliotheque Nationale de Paris, in the unpaginated volume 31 of the Cabinet d'Estampes, and referred to in the auction list of Feuchère and Fossey of 1831.
