介绍（中）	爱德华·伊斯特（Edward East）接受过金匠培训，是伦敦钟表匠公司（1631年）的创始成员。作为弗罗曼特尔家族在商业和政治上的竞争对手，保皇党人伊斯特于1660年被任命为新恢复的查理二世的钟表匠。像弗罗曼特尔人一样，他很快认识到惠更斯钟摆对计时的重要性，但东方不是他们英荷新教圈子的一部分。这款钟表相对朴素的木壳在很大程度上归功于第一个荷兰摆钟的设计，并标志着它是英国钟表制造新技术的早期产品。该机芯以其典型的重型黄铜板，被后来的所有者进行了大量修改;在某个未知的时间，它从锚式擒纵机构重新转换为历史上正确的边缘。它是春季驱动的，持续时间为一天，并在一个铃铛上敲响小时。该表壳最近又恢复了接近其原始简单性的东西。
介绍（英）	Trained as a goldsmith, Edward East was a founding member of the London Clockmakers’ Company (1631). A rival of the Fromanteels both in business and politics, East, a royalist, was appointed clockmaker in 1660 to the newly restored Charles II. Like the Fromanteels he quickly recognized the importance to timekeeping of the Huygens pendulum, but East was not a part of their Anglo-Dutch Protestant circle. The relatively plain wooden case of this clock owes much to the design of the first Dutch pendulum clocks and marks it as an early product of the new technology of clockmaking in England. The movement, with its characteristically heavy brass plates, was greatly modified by later owners; at some unknown time it was reconverted from an anchor escapement to a historically correct verge. It is spring driven, with a duration of a single day, and strikes the hours on a single bell. The case has been newly returned to something approaching its original simplicity.
