Let us not forget the famous long-case clock by Thomas Tompion in 1709 for the Pump Room in Bath, England. It is an “equation clock” showing the difference between solar and mean time. Here is a link to an image of the dial: https://www.duetimeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/img_2007.jpg
Tompion also placed a sundial outside of the Pump Room. See http://bathsbloggers.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-tompion-clock.html for a photo along with the clock. Cheers, Sara Sara J.
