EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent gilt-brass cased clock-watch with alarm, sundials, and lunar volvelle in the form of a book. Created by the skilled hands of Hans Kock around 1580, this exquisite piece is now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The craftsmanship displayed in this timepiece is truly remarkable. The intricate engravings on the deeply engraved gilt-brass case resemble that of a small book, adding an air of elegance to its design. On the outside cover, you can find dials for magnetic declination and corrections for latitude featuring names of various European towns and countries. As you open this precious "book" you are greeted by even more wonders. Inside lies a compass and hinge, further enhancing its functionality as both a watch and navigational tool during the Northern Renaissance period. The attention to detail is evident throughout every aspect of this masterpiece. From the delicate gold accents to the precise measurements of each component, it exemplifies not only exceptional metalwork but also scientific innovation from that era. This print captures not just an object but also a glimpse into history—a testament to human ingenuity and creativity during one of Europe's most transformative periods. It serves as a reminder that artistry knows no boundaries when it comes to blending beauty with practicality.
