CLOCK DESIGNED AS A TOWER,
Samuel Haug (also Hauckh) was born in Augsburg in 1580. In 1612, he became an independent master watchmaker and made numerous table clocks and figural clocks, as well as a tower-shaped astronomical clock, which probably became his masterpiece at the time. Many of his works can be found in collections and museums, such as the Figural Clock from 1630, which is on exhibit in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
A table clock with the same signature SA.HA. is in the Museum of Art History in Vienna. Cf. Klaus Maurice. The German wheel clock. Volume II. Munich 1967, Fig. 137 and Fig. 141 with another clock by Haug showing a belfry very similar to the one on offer here.
