The case of this clock is inscribed with Morgan & Son Bristol.
According to "Selling antiques" The Morgan family of clockmakers from Bristol are noted makers. Thomas Morgan was active from 1761 to 1838 but it might have been made by another family member.

Taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme 'Timepieces'. The face of this small carriage clock is about 4 " in diameter. I liked the way that using a light source at the side threw the shadows of the hands across the face.

The Clock Mill in the strange and watery world of Three Mills Island in West Ham.

View from the top of the clock tower. Amazing views and gorgeous morning light coming through, we really lucked out on the weather. For the entire day the snow storm took a break and allowed us to see why Kafka would say this...Prague never lets you go… this dear little mother has sharp claws –Franz Kafka
It's a while since I tried still life photography. And I realize, just now, that I could have changed the time on the clock (which was stopped) since it's quite obvious that it's not taken that late. It was 21:08.
Ever wondered why clocks use the roman numeral for 4 like this "IIII" instead of "IV", which would be the correct one? Wikipedia offers a number of explanations. I'm going to copy this one (my choice!): "Louis XIV, king of France, who preferred IIII over IV, ordered his clockmakers to produce clocks with IIII and not IV, and thus it has remained"

Anyone who has been to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station will have spotted the striking Clyde Clock.
The cube shaped clock – perched on top of a pair of stainless steel legs, 20 feet high – reminds locals to run on time every single day.
Twelve years after its installment, though, the clock suddenly stopped – and it took the power of Glasgow’s people to get things ticking over again.
One of the landmarks of the Bisley National Shooting Centre is the clock tower. It was originally placed on Wimbledon Common where the National Rifle Association ran its Imperial meeting up until 1890. The competition moved to Bisley and so did the clock tower.
This image was taken during the 2016 Imperial meeting on a warm but cloudy day. The wind was blowing down the range in the background towards the clock tower and so was ideal for a long exposure for the cloud trails. The sun is trying to peep through and brighten the evening.
