Un orologio deve portare un meccanismo in uno spazio abbastanza piccolo da poter essere portato. Nella galleria condivisa dalle stanze 38 e 39, quella richiesta si trova accanto agli orologi realizzati per case, edifici pubblici e navigazione.
Casse, quadranti e movimenti hanno tutti lavori diversi. Il quadrante trasforma il lavoro del meccanismo in qualcosa che una persona può leggere. La decorazione e la forma possono anche rendere un orologio una dimostrazione di gusto o ricchezza. I meccanismi in funzione esposti nella galleria combinata ti fanno vedere e talvolta sentire la misurazione in corso.
