Simon Willard patented his wall clock in 1802. While he called it his “Improved Timepiece,” it became known as the banjo clock because of its shape. It featured a pendulum that could be screwed down so the clock could be easily moved without damaging its suspension. Unlike many clocks of that day, the banjo clock is an original design rather than a version of a European clock. Although its popularity diminished after i860, it has frequently been copied ever since.
