Description

The Zaandam clock is named after the originals which were designed and manufactured between 1675 and 1725 by several clock-making families who had settled in the Zaansestreek. This one is patterned after a "Rich Man's Clock" and likely made in the 1950's or 1960's.

Rich man’s clocks were usually made from oak with an ebony, rosewood or walnut veneer. Brass was used abundantly both in the case and for the ornaments. The chapter ring was made of silver-plated brass and attached to the velvet covered dial. Weights were generally pear-shaped.  This type of Zaan clock was produced for sale outside the Zaan region. It is known that many were rented as alarm clocks. The rich man’s clock was used as model for the mass-produced Zaan style clock found in many a Dutch living room since the fiftie
