"The Craziest Clock in the World"
The original Ignatz Flying Pendulum Clock was invented by Alder Christian Clausen of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was patented in 1883, and manufactured by the New Haven Clock Company under the name of Jerome & Co. in 1884-1885. Charles Terwilliger commissioned the German manufacture of this reproduction novelty clock in 1959, which continued until 1979. Beautiful and fascinating to watch run.
