Dutch Clock

Sorry That's the Wrong Answer - Answer 5

Question 5: Where did Dutch clocks originate?

The correct answer is:

Deutsch and Dutch are two words that are similar in their meanings and in their written forms. Both terms are used to refer to objects, people and languages from a particular geographical area, but the nations that they refer to are different.

The similarity between these two words has led to some confusion between them, particularly in the past. In the United Kingdom, for example, clocks marked with the word "Deutsch" were once erroneously believed to have originated in the Netherlands rather than in Germany, where they were actually manufactured. Some people still refer to German clocks as Dutch clocks today.
