The Horolovar Plato Clock
Reproduction of the 1905 American Original ~ the following from an advertising piece:
The PLATO CLOCK takes its name from its time-telling “plates” rather than from the Greek philosopher.
The original 1905 one-day models are coveted by knowing collectors of Americana; the reproduction is so close to the original in outward appearance that only an expert can tell them apart-but its 7-jewel, 8-day movement gives it timekeeping qualities never dreamed of in the original model.
The following is an article from the editor of this site discussing the American Plato Clocks and the role of Charles O Terwilliger, Jr. Also includes a video comparing the original to the Horolovar Plato Clock.

The Horolovar Anno 1492 Columbus Clock Is a faithful reproduction of the original American clock made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition However, the reproduction is made of sterner stuff than was available in the 1890’s. Carefully fabricated by the Adolf Held Company, an established Black Forest manufacturer of wooden wheel clocks, the Horolovar reproduction has been made under quality controls unknown in 1893.
All of the wood has been kiln-dried and chemically impregnated to prevent expansion, contraction, and warping. The bushings and escape teeth are made of long-lasting, practically frictionless nylon.
