Astronomical table clock, c1778. The clock has two dials. The lower is a composite dial with the top part showing hours, minutes and seconds. It is flanked on the left by a calendar dial and on the right by a dial showing the times of high tide at various ports. Below these is a large celestial planisphere, which shows the position of the sun and moon in the zodiac throughout the year and the visible stars in the night sky. The upper dial is a heliocentric orrery, which shows the relative positions of the sun and the known planets. Made by Henry Jenkins.
