The banjo clock was invented by Simon Willard, a clockmaker from Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1802. Willard patented his design, and the banjo clock quickly became a popular American timepiece. The banjo clock is named for its distinctive shape, which resembles the neck of a banjo. The clock is typically made of wood, and it has a round or oval face. The case is often decorated with intricate carvings or paintings.

Banjo clocks were originally made with a wooden movement, but they were later made with brass movements. The brass movements were more accurate and durable than the wooden movements. Banjo clocks were produced in large numbers throughout the 19th century. They were popular in both rural and urban areas, and they were often used in homes, businesses, and schools. There are several reasons why banjo clocks are popular in the auction industry.
First, these antique clocks are often rare and collectible. They were not mass-produced like many modern clocks, so they can be difficult to find.
Second, banjo clocks are often made with high-quality materials. The cases and movements of these clocks are often made of wood or brass. This means that banjo clocks are more durable and will last for many years to come. Third, banjo clocks are often associated with a sense of nostalgia. They can remind people of a bygone era, and they can be a way to connect with the past.

Banjo clocks are celebrated for their role in American horological history. They are considered quintessential American timepieces, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of early American clockmakers. The elegant and iconic design of banjo clocks has made them highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
