介绍（中）	1800年，Deverberie&；Cie是一家生产各种装饰青铜器的巴黎工厂，准备供应30多种不同设计的钟表表壳。Jean-Simon Deverberie设计了表壳，并制作了铸造的基本模型，这些表壳在他的工厂进行了铸造、镀金和组装。这些青铜器有可互换的零件，可以用各种方式组装，有些表壳是由工厂提供的，机芯由巴黎钟表制造商提供，里德尔就是其中之一。从幸存的例子来看，该工厂最受欢迎的产品之一是印度钟摆，或带有美洲原住民图案的时钟。这些数字最终来源于欧洲人对四大洲的拟人化，在四大洲中，美洲原住民可以通过他们的羽毛裙和头饰来识别。但与中国的人物一样，在这一时期，欧洲人对遥远民族的想法有时是模糊的，在博物馆的时钟上，与其他地方一样，美洲原住民被描绘成非洲人的特征和颜色。
介绍（英）	In 1800, Deverberie & Cie, a Parisian factory that made ornamental bronzes of various kinds, was prepared to supply more than thirty varieties of clockcases, each of a different design. Jean-Simon Deverberie designed the cases and made the basic models for casting, and they were cast, gilded, and assembled in his factory. The bronzes had interchangeable parts that could be assembled in various ways, and some cases were provided by the factory with movements by Parisian clockmakers, Ridel among them. To judge from the number of surviving examples, one of the more popular products of the factory was the pendule aux indiens, or clock with Native American figures. These figures were ultimately derived from European personifications of the Four Continents, in which the natives of America are to be identified by their feathered skirts and headdresses. But as with the Chinese figures, European ideas of faraway peoples were sometimes hazy during this period, and on the Museum’s clock, as elsewhere, Native Americans were portrayed with the features and color of Africans.
