The Diego Evans musical bracket clock shown on the front cover is part of the J. Bryson and Mary Louis Moore Collection at the National Watch and Clock Museum®. like many of his contemporaries, David Evans made clocks specially for trade in foreign countries. This musical clock (32" H x 16.5 W x 11.75" D) was made in London, England, ca 1785, for the Spanish market. The dial features Spanish wording and the name Diego, rather than David, Evans. Special featuries of the eight-day brass movement include a calendar fubction and an accompanying nest of thirteen bells that can play six melodies. Gilded brass ornaments decorate the mahogany case.
