Fine Clocks | 3 1 A rare mid 19th century French gilt and patinated bronze mystery Throughout Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin’s life the magical and the clock mechanical were always deeply intertwined. We see this dichotomy best Robert-Houdin expressed in his famous stage acts such as “The Marvellous Orange The painted glass 4.25 inch Roman dial with single arrow hand within Tree” and his unique horological designs. a gilt bezel, raised upon foliate scroll supports, mounted on the shaped base with applied figural and foliate mounts and square plinth base Born into a family of clockmakers in 1805, young Jean Eugène was a with shell and scroll mouldings, set on a giltwood base with conforming lover of the mechanical arts, especially automatons and soon began an foliate decoration, the twin train drum movement with silk suspension apprenticeship under his cousin Jean Martin Robert. Soon after, Jean and countwheel strike on a bell, the dial rotated by means of a lead-off Eugène began to work for Noriet, a prominent clockmaker in Tours arbour from a pinwheel engaging with the toothed edge of the dial. and it was here that he met the famous conjurer Giovanni Torrini. 37cm (14.5in) clock, 43cm (17in) overall. After moving to Paris to start a comedy company, Jean Eugène met his £7,000 - 10,000 future wife, Josèphe Cécile Egaltine Houdin, a daughter of the famous €8,800 - 13,000 clockmaker, Jacques-François Houdin, who had studied under the great US$11,000 - 16,000 Abraham Louis Breguet. After their marriage, Jean Eugène changed his last name to “Robert-Houdin,” and with this change came a great Provenance: rebirth for the artist whose career as both an illusionist, inventor and The Joseph M.Meraux Collection of Rare and Unusual Clocks, Sotheby’s horologist soon soared to incredible heights. New York, Monday 28th June 1993, lot 257. This rare clock is part of his second series of clocks made from the late An identical clock was sold at Bonhams New York, September 24th, 1830s. It is around this time that Robert-Houdin began to make mystery 2012, lot 5268 with the following biographical information: clocks with glass dials and their movements hidden in the base of the clock. As the movements for these clocks were invisible to the naked eye, onlookers were enchanted by the pieces, coming up with their own theories on how the hand moved. Robert-Houdin showcased his creations at the Exhibition of French Industry in 1839, for which he won a bronze medal. A similar clock is illustrated in Derek Robert’s Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks on page 225.

Throughout the 1840s and 50s, Robert-Houdin’s celebrity grew as he performed private shows for Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace and exhibited his inventions at the Universal Exposition of 1855. He passed away from pneumonia on June 13th, 1871, aged 65.

Today, Robert-Houdin is considered the father of modern magic and a French national hero. Perhaps the most famous tribute to the master illusionist was another young showman’s decision to change his name from Ehrich Weiss to Houdini.

(See £20,000 - 30,000 lot 18 in this sale for an example of this type.) €25,000 - 38,000 US$32,000 - 48,000 Much closer to the present casket is a pair of necessaires from the Chinese Imperial Collection recorded in Simon Harcourt-Smith’s Catalogue of Various Clocks (etc) in the Palace Museum and the Wu Ying Tien, Peiping 1933, p. 32 and plate 35, see illustration. This pair were almost identical in design to the present piece but they are slightly narrower, and although they also had an automated scene in the front panel, they lacked the watch in the lid. It is not known if they are still in the collections of the Palace Museum, Beijing. Note the shell-cast feet.

This clock is sold by a descendant and still bears her initials on the lid. This clock was the personal property of Vera Solomons (1888-1969), the fourth child of David Lionel Solomons (1851-1925).

David Lionel Solomons studied at University College, London and at Caius College Cambridge, gaining a BA in 1874. He became a Barrister at the Middle Temple and served as a JP in London, Middlesex, Sussex and Westminster. He was Sheriff of Kent in 1880, and Mayor and Alderman of Tunbridge Wells. His home, Broomhill was a centre of scientific study, it is said that his workshops contained 60,000 tools which were capable of making anything from a watch to a steam engine. He had an abiding interest in all things modern, he owned the second automobile imported into England and was so fascinated by electricity that he had his own coal-fired generator. Broomhill became one of the first private homes to be lit by electricity. He designed and made an electric butter churn, an electric alarm and one of the first electric cooking devices. He published several scientific works but is best known among horological circles today for his pioneering work in the study of Abraham Louis Breguet.

52 | Bonhams 87 W A fine, unique and historically important late 18th/early 19th century floorstanding regulator of two week duration. Almost certainly designed and built by the great inventor and gas engineer William Murdock (1754-1839) The case. Of solid mahogany on an oak backboard with veneered crossbanded base, the hood of the ‘drum head’ type popular in Scotland in the late 18th century, set to the uppermost surface with a ‘hip’ to accomodate the top section of the pendulum bracket, the section of the backboard behind the hood is covered in green baize, the trunk composed of three sections of mahogany over 1 inch thick with deeply reeded carved decoration with alternating splayed edges, the centre section creating the lift-out door, located via two pins to the lower edge and locking into place at the top, set on a substantial rectangular base veneered to the front with a cross banded flame mahogany panel within a fielded surround, on a bracket base.

The dial One piece silvered brass, 12 inches in diameter and signed in a horizontal line across the centre. The upper subsidiary dial has a counterbalanced seconds hand and is engraved with two 0-60 arabic scales divided into 100 divisions, thereby denoting that the movement beats 50 per minute. The hour subsidiary is slightly larger and displays Roman numerals, the hand bearing a female square to take a male winding key. The minutes are marked in arabic numerals around the periphery of the dial and marked with a central hand.

The rear of the dial is signed Donithorpe, Birmingham and carries an outer scale from 0 to 360 with a subsidiary dial marked 0-100 with the predictions Wet, Changeable, Dry and Extream (sic)

The movement. Screwed to a cast and enamelled iron seatboard, the substantial brass plates each have tall feet and shoulders, united by four large knopped pillars to a distance of 1 5/8 inch thick rather than the 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inch thickness of standard movements. Set at the apex of the plates is a cast brass support with heart shaped lower section that carries the escapement arbor. All wheels are light and the train count is as follows:

Wheel Diam. Tooth Count Meshing pinion Great 7.75ins. 360 36 2nd - 180 30 3rd - 144 24 ‘Scape - 50 -

It should be noted that the pinions are of a much higher count and the great wheel of a much larger diameter than any contemporary regulator.

Maintaining power is effected on pulling a cord inside the case; this raises one end of a lever pivotted on the front plate; at one end of the lever is a vertical rod that carries a small weighted platform, at the other is a drop arm that has a bevelled tip that meshes with a wheel of 96 teeth carried by the second arbor; the pressure on the 96 wheel is enough to power the clock while it is being wound. Duration on one winding is 15 days.

The pendulum has a total length of 61.5 inches and comprises of a wooden rod suspended by a steel suspension double screwed to the apex of a pair of cast iron supports screwed to the iron seatboard, the cylindrical brass bob is held by a regulation nut 2.08m (6ft 10ins) high. £20,000 - 30,000 €25,000 - 38,000 US$32,000 - 48,000

If a machine failed, it could literally William Murdock (1754 - 1839) be a matter of life and death for the miners and financial ruin for the William Murdock was born in the village of Lugar, near Auchinleck, 25 mine owners. It was Murdock’s job to keep this part of the country miles south of Glasgow. His father, John, was a miller and wheelwright running efficiently, furthermore, in such a competitive market, he had with an original engineering mind. He constructed a wooden tricycle and to ensure that no other owners were using engines that violated the in about 1766 designed and installed the first cast iron toothed, bevelled company patents. The latter part of this work could often lead to trouble millgearing at Bellow Mill. The mill was situated just next to the Murdock for Murdock; he was required to submit affidavits against mine owners family home and it is highly likely that the 16 year old William helped his and there are known instances of Murdock physically coming to blows father with this and much of his other practical work. The local Laird was with members of a disgruntled mining community. James Watt had Alexander Boswell, the father of James, best known as companion to overseen Cornwall before Murdock and had personal knowledge of and biographer of Dr. Samuel Johnson. It is recorded that Boswell visited how high tempers could rise; in a letter to Murdock in 1789 he advised Matthew Boulton at his Soho House in Birmingham and it is quite likely “We think that you should not stay at Redruth but at Truro or Saint that Boswell mentioned the local Murdock family as gifted engineers. Austle until these rogues are quieted and take care not to be in their way at night....”. Despite some minor local risings, Murdock had a great In 1777, the 23 year old William walked over 250 miles to the Watt and affection for Cornwall and was a shareholder in some of the mines that Boulton factory at Soho in Birmingham in the hope of employment, used the Boulton and Watt engines. possibly following a recommendation from Boswell. He began his career working in the pattern shop on a wage of 15 shillings a week, rising to 18 shillings a week if he had to work away from Soho.

54 | Bonhams When not beset by human problems with aggrieved miners, Murdock was paid to sort mechanical ones and in several instances it is understood that he modified some of Watts engines to improve performance. In the 1790s Boulton wrote to Watt “Murdock seems indefatigable....everyone seems helpless in comparison of him” and “We want more Murdocks, for of all others he is the most active man and best engine erector I ever saw....when I look at the work done it astonishes me and is entirely owing to the spirit and activity of Murdock...”

Murdocks father had designed a tricycle and William wanted to take this a stage further and apply steam power to a road contraption. In 1784 he constructed a three-wheeled carriage, a replica of which is currently on display in the Birmingham Museum of Science and Discovery. It is now known that despite little encouragement from either Boulton or Watt, Murdcok went on to make various other carriages. Unfortunately, the concept never really captured the public imagination.

Other inventions and discoveries of note include the ‘Sun and Planet’ gear system, the long-D slide valve, the oscillating marine engine and various coal tar products such as aniline dyes.

Murdocks greatest single contribution to the world is his discovery of gas lighting. It had long been noted that when particular types of coal burned they gave off a flammable gas. Murdock conducted many experiments with various types of coal combined with pipes and apertures of differents designs and by 1794 had reached the stage where he could illuminate his own house with gas light. Just as he did with his steam powered tricycle, he approached his employers for encouragement, but again, they either failed to see the potential or felt that their energy was better spent on their core business. Disappointed, Murdock returned to Scotland for a brief time but in 1798 returned to Birmingham to take up the post of manager of the Soho Works on a salary of £1000 per annum.

In this new role, he pressed ahead with gas lighting and within 3 years had rigged the Soho building to be lit entirely by gas; a public demonstration using over 2500 lights was given in March 1802 to celebrate the Peace of Amiens. In 1805/7 he installed gas lighting in the Salford cotton spinning mill of Phillips and Lee. In a report to the Parliamentary Commission in later years, Lee wrote “..the cost of gas was not more than 50% of that of oil and 70% of the cost of tallow while the light obtained was much more brilliant, much steadier and cleanlier in use.” (sic) In 1808 Murdock was presented with the Royal Society Rumford gold medal as “the author of the most important or useful discovery which shall be made published.. in heat and light.”

William Murdock died on 15th November 1839 and is buried near to James Watt and Matthew Boulton in the crypt of the Church of St. Mary, Handsworth

As the 19th century progressed, so did the spread of gas lighting, in Britain and on the World stage; it changed the working and leisure lives of countless hundreds of thousands of people and proved to be one of the major innovations of the 19th century. It is tempting to imagine the great man checking the time of this regulator by gas light of an evening.

62 | Bonhams Fine Clocks | 63 98 A very fine mid 19th century brass centre-seconds skeleton clock To our knowledge, the current clock is one of only three extant clocks by with helical balance and lever escapement Condliff in a distinctive ‘transitional’ style that unites the best of his ‘first’ James Condliff, Liverpool and ‘second’ series of clock. Roberts in ‘British Skeleton Clocks, ACC The apex of the scrolled frame formed as a stylised lotus leaf centred by 1987’ divides Condliffs work into three distinct models. His first series of the large gilt balance with heavy circular timing screws and large blued clocks are thought to have been made circa 1825-1850; they are typifed steel helical balance spring to the English lever escapement with cock by an arched frame over a substantial lower half with a handsomely engraved as a mythical creatures head, the frame continuing downwards finished platform mounted on classically inspired columns, the baseplate in a symmetrical pattern of open scrolls united by four crisply finished holding the recessed barrels and displaying the balance and helical pillars, set on a platform supported on four tapering Doric columns spring. The second series are thought to date from the 1850-70 period with bud-type finials to a plinth base on ball feet, the twin chain fusees and display a much more delicate scroll frame but give more ‘limelight’ partially set within the plinth and with open ends, the going train with to the chronometer-inspired balance wheel and helical hairspring. maintaining power, the striking train with mirror-polished rack visible One transitional design illustrated as figures 3.23a-d in Roberts has a to the centre striking on a gong mounted within the base, all wheels of heavier frame than the current clock.

Provenance:

This skeleton clock has been in the vendors family for over a century.

Derek Roberts in the standard work on Skeleton Clocks comments on Condliff’s production that “The designs of his skeleton clock frames and even the individual components have seldom been equalled and never bettered by an other maker ....”

The Lion and the Fox depicted are taken from Aesop’s Fable, “The Lion’s Share”: A Fox entered into partnership with a Lion on the pretence of becoming his servant. Each undertook his proper duty in accordance with his own nature and powers. The Fox discovered and pointed out the prey; the Lion sprang on it and seized it. The Fox soon became jealous of the Lion carrying off the Lion’s share, and said that he would no longer find out the prey, but would capture it on his own account. The next day he attempted to snatch a lamb from the fold, but he fell prey to the huntsmen and hounds. Moral ‘Don’t be too greedy.’

James Upjohn worked in the City of London from 1749, first at St. Martins le Grand, then Threadneedle Street. In 1765 he moved to Lombard Street. He worked in partnership with his eldest son Francis until 1773 when James gave up a branch to him and carried on as James Upjohn & Co.

The surname Sergeant was spelled in different ways throughout the Georgian era, sometimes without the ‘a’ sometimes with a ‘j’. Bearing in mind the backplate is engraved JS, it would seem appropriate to attribute this clock to Joseph Sargent, working in Jermyn Street from 1794-1820. He was Watchmaker to the Princess of Wales.

Little is known about Daniel Quare before 1671 when he was admitted to the Clockmaker’s Company as a Brother on the 3rd of April. In 1682 when Robert Seignior was appointed Clockmaker to the King, Quare took over his premises in Exchange Alley. At best, his work is of exceptional quality, a ten-foot tall year-duration walnut longcase clock for William III, is still in Hampton Court Palace today. Other examples sit in the British Museum and others. Quare is quoted as saying that in his working life he served ‘men of the greatest rank of most other nations in Europe, as well as this nation’.

He was a devout Quaker and would not swear oaths or pay tithes. In 1715 he refused the invitation to become Royal Watchmaker but an arrangement was arrived at whereby he was welcomed to enter the palace at any time via the back stairs.

See illustration and back cover

The GS bell founders mark is also recorded on a First Period lantern clock by William Bowyer and a Second Period clock by Thomas Knifton, source George White. Henry Stevens was one of the very first makers of English lantern clocks. Research by Jeremy Evans reports that a clockmaker of that name was working ‘Upon Addlinge hil’ by 1599. Brian Loomes adds that Stevens was married on 16th February, 1602 at St Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street to Margaret Payne. He was still working into the 1620s, but is not mentioned in the incorporation of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, it is therefore assumed that he had died by 1632. Only two other clocks by him are known. One is in the Clockmakers Company Museum and the other is in the World Museum, Liverpool. This is profusely illustrated in White and shows remarkable similarities to the current clock. Colour Plate 3 is entitled ‘The earliest known dated English lantern clock ‘and Figure II/40 shows the identical finials, feet and fret, as well as the highly individual method of fixing the dial directly through the XII numeral.

Joseph Knibb was born in 1640. It is assumed that he served his apprenticeship under his cousin Samuel Knibb in Newport Pagnell from 1655 to 1662. He began his independent career working just outside the City of Oxford, but by the mid 1660s had moved within its jurisdiction. There was some initial resentment to his becoming Free of the City and it was only through the support of the University, where he matriculated as a gardener, that he was granted Freedom in 1668 on payment of a fine of 20 nobles and a leather bucket.

In 1670 Joseph moved to London, this was the same year that his past Master, Samuel who had moved to the capital in 1662, died, and it was natural that Joseph should carry on the family firm. London at this time was experiencing something of a re-birth after the Great Plague and the Great Fire, and the scientific and horological sectors were closely intertwined. Joseph was obviously a talented horologist; with just three years under his belt in the capital, he was accomplished enough to supply Professor James Gregory, Astronomer of St Andrews University, with a pair of longcase clocks and a ‘split second’ weight driven timer capable of showing thirds of a second via it’s tic-tac escapement. Gregory boasted of them in a letter to the Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed in a letter date 19th July 1673 “I have 2 Pendulum Clocks makinge with long swinges, vibrating seconds, (no) stikinge; and also one little Pendulum Clock, vibrating 4 times a second, also without strikinge for discerninge small intervalls; where there may be a parte of a second in question.” These three clocks are still at St Andrews today.

Four years later, in 1677 Knibb was commissioned to supply a turret clock for Windsor Castle. The Dukes of Sussex and York also had Knibb clocks in their collections and in 1682 Knibb was paid for work carried out for Charles II. He died in December 1711.

Fine Clocks | 99 143 A late 17th century and later winged lantern clock with alarm William Speakman, Hatton Garden, Londini Fecit The brass bellstrap over knopped urn finials and later dolphin and foliage frets, with tapered pillars and winged doors over ball feet, the 6.25 inch silvered Roman chapter ring with fluer-de-lis half hour markers bordering the signed, tulip and foliage engraved dial centre with silvered alarm dial and cut steel hand, the weight driven movement with verge escapement and anchor pendulum between the plates, well formed hammer stop and countwheel, with the alarm work to the backplate. 39cm (15.25in) £6,000 - 8,000 €7,500 - 10,000 US$9,500 - 13,000

100 | Bonhams 144 A very rare and interesting second half of the 17th century quarter chiming lantern clock John Ebsworth, Londini fecit The 10.25 inch square brass dial enclosed by a single line border and decorated to each corner with a single flowerhead and leaves, the chapter ring measuring 1 and 7/8ths of an inch in width and 9 and 1/8th of an inch in diameter with outer Arabic minute track and Roman hours with fleur de lys half hour marks and inner quarter hour track, the dial centre signed in an engraved material cartouche in a flowing copperplate hand, surrounded by further flowers and foliage, all surmounted by a well turned finial securing the very heavy strapped bell over a further four matching finials on tapering Doric columns to ball feet, the three train movement with verge escapement, and countwheel for the quarters 44cms (17.5ins) high. £3,000 - 5,000 €3,800 - 6,300 US$4,800 - 7,900

Many of the great makers made and retailed posted frame clocks such as this. Examples from the 1670s and 80s by Fromanteel, Tompion, Knibb and Jones are well documented. The drapery cartouche was a popular style of signature plaque in the first 10 or 20 years of the pendulum clock. It was used outside of horology in architectural details and monuments and lends a Baroque flourish to any dial. A similar thirty hour movement by Daniel Quare, but not quarter chiming, was sold in these rooms 15th December 2009, lot 113 for £12,300. A thirty hour clock alarm and similar dial by Andrew Prime circa 1670 is illustrated in Horological Masterworks, Ticehurst, 2003, Exhibit 21.

John Ebsworth worked at the Cross Keys in Lothbury and also ‘in new Cheape Side’. He was an apprentice to Richard Aymes in 1657 and was a member of the Clockmakers’ Company from 1665 until his death in 1699. It is probable that he succeeded Thomas Knifton at the Cross Keys 144 upon Knifton’s death circa 1667.

145 W A good early arched longcase dial and movement Windmills, London The 13 inch break arched dial with typical date subsidiary in the arch, flanked by engraved decoration of scrolls and male heads in profile, over the urn and scroll spandrels and Roman and Arabic chapter ring enclosing the matted centre with subsidiary seconds dial and ringed winding squares, the hour hand original, (the minute hand a later replacement), all bordered by a running engraved wheatear pattern, the eight day movement with anchor escapement and rack strike (bell lacking, stand detached) 33cms wide by 44.5cms high. (13 ins wide by 17.5ins high. £600 - 800 €750 - 1,000 US$950 - 1,300

Windmills was one of the finest clockmakers working in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The fact that this dial is 13 inches rather than the standard 12 inches suggests that it was once housed in a large and very impressive case, perhaps with chinoiserie decoration such as that illustrated in Neale, Spare holes in the backplate indicate that it was secured into the case with an L-shaped retaining bracket. It is sold today with three old pulleys and two 19th century weights.

It is a possibility that this clock was originally in the House of Commons, the VR crown to the dial indicates that it was certainly Government- owned. Twelve such clocks used for night time security were sold by auction in 1925.

151 W A good mid 19th century floorstanding night watchman’s timepiece Yonge & Son, Strand, London.

An examination of the clocks and watches of Captain James Cook offers a fascinating insight into the technical support that accompanied his groundbreaking expeditions in the 1760s and 70s, see Howse and Hutchinson, AH 1969. This particular alarm timer is very similar to the one sold to the Royal Society by John Shelton for the 1761 Transit of Venus (illustrated AH 1969, p141-142.) It was so useful that Neville Maskelyne took it with him to Barbados in 1763. For Cook’s second voyage in the Resolution in 1772, the Board of Longitude bought from John Monk ‘a journeyman or Assistant clock’ together with ‘an alarm clock’. Monk also supplied The Adventure, under Captain Furneaux with another ‘journeyman or Assistant clock’. It is thought that another alarm clock by Monk also accompanied Captain Cook in the Resolution in 1776. In 1785 one of the Monk alarm clocks was described as “all in pieces” and no complete examples appear to have survived. The current lot was found many years ago and the owner added the engraved dial as a postulant.

106 | Bonhams 153 W A rare dated floorstanding oak regulator in architectural case G. Pearne, London, 1830 The triangular pediment over a tapering trunk door set with a large glazed circular lenticle over a base with inverted central panel, the signed silvered rectangular 11 inch dial signed along the top edge, over an engraved Arabic minute ring enclosing the recessed subsidiary seconds and hours dials, the movement with four turned pillars, maintaining power and deadbeat escapement to a wooden rod pendulum with heavy lenticular bob and T-bar suspension mounted from the backplate 1.88m (6ft 2ins) £800 - 1,200 €1,000 - 1,500 US$1,300 - 1,900

Literature: Darken and Hooper, English 30-hour clocks, Penita Books, 1997, p 193.

Darken and Hooper describe this clock in some detail, with a full train count and also comment that the front bush for the cenre seconds arbor is removable and held in place by three screws. The point is also made that while John Hackings is not recorded by Baillie or Loomes, he is recorded by Britten as a maker of tools for Professor Ludlam.

Ludlam was a member of the Board of Longitude and wrote on Hackings “all my best tools were made by him and has worked for me constantly since mid summer 1753 Whatever has been done by him may be depended upon.”

A similar heavy pendulum by Hackings is illustrated in Robinson, The Longcase Clock, ACC, p 298, fig 10/22. As well as a starwheel and spring loaded jumper, this clock has Professor Ludlams name as instructor engraved on the backplate.

108 | Bonhams 155 W An exceptional last quarter of the 18th century mahogany crossbanded oak thirty hour clock James Newman, Lewes The hood with overhanging cornice and three-quarter gilt mounted Doric columns over a long arched trunk door on a crossbanded base, the 11 inch arched silvered dial boldly signed in the arch over engraved floral sprigs to each corner, the minute track marked in lines and lozenges enclosing the sunken subsidiary dials for Roman hours and Arabic seconds, each of the blued steel hands with heart-shaped tips (the seconds and hours both counter-balanced), the posted frame weight driven movement with four-wheel train to the anchor escapement, now with a wooden rod pendulum with cylindrical brass-faced bob, with outside countwheel strike on a bell 2.05m (6ft 8.5ins) high. £1,500 - 2,500 €1,900 - 3,100 US$2,400 - 4,000

Literature: Darken and Hooper, English 30-hour clocks, Penita Books, 1997, p 228.

The use of a regulator dial on a provincial thirty hour clock is extremely rare to find. Also of note is the motion work which runs behind the dial vertically downwards from the centre to enable the hours to be shown. The drive pulleys are also highly unusual, neither have locating spikes for the chain, but both are so finely sized that they fit the chain precisely, instead of crude clickwork, there is a ratchet and pawl arrangement which gives an intensely smooth winding action. Although the escapement is an anchor rather than deadbeat, the vendor reports that this clock, such is the quality of its construction, can keep time to within a second a day.

It may be relevant that Lewes at the time was home to another highly regarded clockmaker, Richard Comber. Newman is not listed in Baillie or Loomes and no other clock by him is known. It is possible that Newman was in fact the original owner, perhaps an amateur scientist or astronomer?

Fine Clocks | 109 156 A very fine early 20th century Pendulum-makers regulator timing movement James H Auger Baugh The tall rectangular plates 50mm in thickness and measuring 10.25 x 3.5 inches united by four turned pillars, the four wheel train with maintaining power, high count pinions, wheels of six crossings to a deadbeat escapement with sapphire pallets, with two aluminium dials, (the seconds signed). Contained in a heavy pine packing case bearing labels for Harold Gimson Esq, Toller Road, Leicester. 26cms x 9cms (10.25ins x 3.5ins) (2) £800 - 1,200 €1,000 - 1,500 US$1,300 - 1,900

Literature: Antiquarian Horology, 2001, vol 26, number 3 p257.

James H.Agar Baugh was perhaps the most gifted pendulum maker working in the early 20th century, supplying precision pendulums to Observatories all over the world between 1900 and 1925. He would have used this movement as part of his rigorous testing procedure. His work was held in such esteem that he made many parts for Commander Gould in the restoration of John Harrison’s ‘Royal Astronomical Society’ regulator now on exhibition at Greenwich Observatory.

110 | Bonhams 157 W A fine second quarter of the 18th century oak 30-hour longcase clock Denis Chambers, Puckle-church The hood with stepped caddy top set with blind-cut fretwork on columns with giltwood capitals and bases, the long trunk door with a lock and moulded edge, on a plain base, the 11 inch square brass dial with crown and cherub spandrels the silvered Roman chapter ring with elaborate half hour markers and inner quarter-hour track, the matted centre with chamfered and decorated date aperture, unusually signed on an applied silvered oval cartouche, the posted movement screwed to the seatboard from below and with four turned brass columns, the anchor escapement with countwheel strike on the large bell 2.21m (7ft 3ins) high. £700 - 1,000 €880 - 1,300 US$1,100 - 1,600

Literature: Darken and Hooper, English 30 hour clocks, pp144-145.

This thirty hour clock is notable for several reasons. The applied signature plaque would have added expense and time in production; similarly, the half hour markers are far more elaborate than any standard thirty hour longcase. The middle and back bars of the movement are cast with a side projection to support the fly arbor, a sure sign of West Country manufacture (Puckle-Church lies just east of Bristol). Darken and Hooper also mention that the wheel cutting is of very high quality, the movement is screwed to the seatboard and that the winding click is unusual.
