English eight-day Watchman's clock by Bellefontaine, London, in wooden case, with one door-key and one winder, 1800-1834. A bell sounds every quarter-hour, a watchman must then press the knob on the top which drives in the pin. The disk carrying the pins creates a visible record of when knobs were pressed, thus watchman were awake.
