has gloss | eng: The banjo clock, or more properly the banjo timepiece, is an American wall clock with a banjo-shaped case. It was invented by Simon Willard, originally of Grafton, Massachusetts, later of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and patented in 1802. The banjo timepiece is so named because it normally lacks a striking mechanism, an essential feature of a true clock, and indicates time only by its hands and dial. |
