This lavishly executed case testifies to the great value that collectors and art lovers attached to ingeniously made clocks. The silver musical instruments on the sides of the clockcase - a lute, a violin, trumpets - allude to the various melodies the movement can play. Nicolaas Weylandt was one of Amsterdams best-known clockmakers.
