EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of horological history - the Decimal clock, created between 1798 and 1805 by Pierre Daniel Destigny. Standing at an impressive height of 48.3 cm, this exquisite timepiece is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. Crafted from pine, brass, and enamel, this Georgian-era clock boasts a neoclassical design that exudes elegance and sophistication. Its intricate mechanism includes features such as a decimal escapement and dead beat movement, which were revolutionary for their time. The clock's stunning veneered iron columns add to its visual appeal while providing structural support. The mahogany carcase further enhances its beauty with its rich tones and fine craftsmanship. What sets this timepiece apart is its unique decimal system display. Instead of traditional hours and minutes, it utilizes units based on powers of ten - an innovative concept during the late 18th century. With influences from Tuscan design elements and Italian craftsmanship, this French creation exemplifies European ingenuity in horology. It serves as a testament to both technical skill and artistic vision. As we admire this extraordinary work captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate how it represents not only a significant milestone in timekeeping but also the convergence of artistry and precision engineering.
