Describe the characteristics of the Manufacturing in Tokugawa Ieyasu's Clock's History.
The clock is a gilt-bronze spring-loaded clock which, according to the nameplate on the clock, was manufactured in Madrid, Spain, in 1581 by Hans de Evalo. De Evalo was a Flemish man born in Brussels and was a master clockmaker to King Philip II from 1580 until his death in 1598. The Spanish royalty had been avid collectors of clocks since the reign of Charles V, and the oldest surviving clock in their collection was also made by de Evalo. Another inscription was later discovered on the clock, naming Nicolaus de Troestenberch as its maker. Nicolaus de Troestenberch was a royal clockmaker to Charles V, and was the son of Jean van Troestenberch, royal clockmaker to Philip I of Castile in the early 15th century.Nothing is known about the clock from the time it was made to the time it was presented to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
