This table clock relates closely to German examples. But where German clockmakers would sign only with their initials and would use double Arabic and Roman numbering, Flemish clockmakers tended to sign their pieces in full and use only single numbering. It is also interesting to note the hour touch pieces on the dial for night reading.
