Gothic clock So called Gothic iron-frame clocks were produced in Europe, particularly in Germany, from the 1500s. These were forged by blacksmiths to a precision and design that defies our modern concept of a blacksmith as crude worker of wrought iron with a big hammer. Typically unsigned, Gothic clocks were hugely expensive and often found in the kingly courts of Europe. See the Gothic Iron Wall Clock, made around 1500, on Clocktime.
