In the 17th Century clocks and watches were set according to the sun time as shown by sun dials and it was not uncommon to find sun dials built on the lids of early 17th. Century oval cases. Towards the end of the 17th Century astronomers introduced "mean sun time" which was an average length of all "true sun days" and clocks and watches were now set to this mean time. Equation watches are very rare - showing both mean and true sun time simultaneously. Henry Sully is often credited with the construction of the first equation watch in the late 17th. Century. The connection and variable time relationship between sun and mean time is achieved in item #59 by the use of an elliptical or kidney-shaped disc which attaches to the mean year disc. Equation of time watches were made by the most famous watchmakers of all time including Ellicott, Berthoud and A. L. Breguet. $22,550.00
