This late eighteenth-century clock by Swiss watchmaker Benjamin Degland was the Apple Watch of its day. It offered a multitude of information at glance: hours in Roman numerals, minutes in Arabic numbers, day of the month, days of the week with their Zodiac signs, and painted symbols of the four seasons over their respective months (garlands of flowers, sheaves of wheat and flowers, barrels and branches of grapes, and crossed bare boughs).
