The tavern clock probably first appeared around 1720. It was supposed to have acquired the name "Act of Parliament Clock" in 1797 when William Pitt the younger introduced a tax on clocks and watches making large public clocks in taverns more necessary to those unable to afford to keep a house clock or pocket watch any longer. The resulting loss of business and hardship caused to clockmakers forced Pitt to repeal the Act after just one year.
