The earliest globe clocks were mechanically turned globes with clock dials made in 16th-century Europe. Another type has a globe with an inscribed revolving hour band and a fixed indicator to show the time, usually made to stand on a table. The more modern globe clock, early 20th century, takes the form giving the time at any point on earth in addition to local mean time. In the United States two types were made, the Timby and the Juvet. The movement was an eight-day timepiece with jewelled balance. The case supported a rotating globe, showing the time of sunset on any part of the globe. A separate dial indicated the time, which could be adjusted for a specific meridian. Apparently the manufacturer was never able to produce this mechanism to the inventor's patent, and it remained merely a novelty. A 30-hour solar timepiece, consisting of a 12in. Diameter globe mounted on a stand, turning every 24 hours, was manufactured at Canajoharie, New York, 1879-86. A large floor model had an 18in. Diameter globe. Manufacture ceased when a fire destroyed the factory on 18th October 1886. Both Timby and Juvet timepieces have become rare collectors' items.
