Notes: An Article in Japanese examining the highly unusual clock (made 1710 made for and still at Paris Observatory by Pierre Fardoli with Caffierei Bronzes) showing temporal hours through automated moving numerals which are typically found on Japanese WARI-KOMA dials, raising the question if WARI-KOMA clocks in the 19th century copied the French invention or were developed independently in Japan?
