EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable timepiece that seamlessly combines the decimal and duodecimal systems, as well as the revolutionary and Gregorian calendars. Crafted in 19th century Paris by Laurent, this bronze and enamel clock is an exquisite work of art housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The intricately designed dials on this clock not only display the conventional time but also provide a unique perspective on different calendar systems. The revolutionary dial represents a significant period in French history when time was reimagined during the French Revolution. Alongside it, the Gregorian calendar dial reminds us of our current system for tracking dates. Furthermore, this extraordinary timepiece incorporates another fascinating feature - phases of the moon. With meticulous attention to detail, Laurent has beautifully captured these lunar cycles within his creation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where precision engineering met artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with measuring and understanding time. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this piece of history through their expert photography skills. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Laurent's masterpiece from wherever we may be in the world today.
