Jaap Zeeman attributes the present clock to the Groninger clockmaker Daniel van Barkel on the strength of technical features shared with a clock signed and dated DANIEL V BARKEL 1728, see De Nederlandse Stoelklok, pp. 81-89.
The bold turned pillars with square bases, the chapter-ring which slightly overextends outside the dial, are both features common to the Groninger stoelklok. Furthermore, the lead ornaments flanking the sides are later and it seems logical that originally there would have been none as the present ornaments obstruct the view of the finely carved cheekboards. Again this is a feature commonly found on clocks from Groningen.
The doors to each side of the movement are painted as an arch with a checquered marble floor, virtually identical doors, from a Groninger clock by Daniël van Barkel are illustrated in W.F.J. Hana NEDERLANDSE KLOKKEN, Bussum, 1980, fig. 69.
