The case usually incorporated mirrors, or else was made of ebonized wood, lavishly decorated with fine carving, pilasters, cornices, etc. , and adorned with gilded-bronze finials, fillets and borders. The movement generally included striking for the hours (six) and for the quarters, and often an alarm was fitted. The most famous makers of this type of clock were Angelo Passeri, Domenico Crudeli, Agostino Amonier, Gio Batta Villacroce, Pellegrino Amorotti, Gio Batta Vesperiani and Agostino Ajmunier.
