The Irish Museum of Time

... that the world's oldest timepiece with an anchor escapement is in the collection of the Irish Museum of Time (pictured)?

Source: "One of its most valuable pieces is a clock made in London by William Clement.

The gold-plated piece dates back to 1663 and is the oldest clock in the world with an anchor escapement – the part of the clock that makes it go "tick-tock". https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/museum-of-time-faces-exercise-in-patience-putting-200-clocks-forward-this-weekend/a1629974158.html

Overall: Hello @さえぼー: I hope you are well! 🙂 I have just a few minor issues to fix before passing this DYK. Everything else from this review looks good, but specifically in the Reception section, could you could remove the text with the finest collection of Irish timepieces in the world as it is both not neutral and taken word-for-word from the source? Two other sentences I would change would be: Since the opening, it has been a popular tourist destination.[9] In 2024, along with the nearby Bishop's Palace, it was recognised by Tripadvisor's Travellers’ Choice Awards.[10] to The museum has become a tourist destination,[9] and in 2024 was recognised, along with the nearby Bishop's Palace, by Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards.[10] for more neutrality, and [...] and to participate in the Epic Walking Tour, a guided walk around the Viking Triangle.[12] to and to participate in a guided walk around the Viking Triangle.[12] again for more neutrality. Super minor things, and after these are addressed, I'd love to pass the DYK. Cheers! Johnson524 16:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
