Benjamin Banneker built this object entirely of wood.
Clock. Banneker’s wooden clock, built in 1753, was the first clock constructed entirely in the United States. The clock kept perfect time until 1806 when it was destroyed in a fire. In 2003, Banneker Watches and Clocks was founded in Denver. Each of the company’s watches, clocks, and jewelry contain wood.
