With a fascination for the mechanical combined with a highly scientific mind, Colin Clive studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and it was during this time that he was introduced by a friend to English clockmaking. Building his collection during the 1980’s and 1990’s, at a time when the finest clocks were appearing for sale at both auction and via clock dealers, he took the best advice when deciding which works to acquire, many of his advisors becoming close friends over the years. Within his London home the finest 18th century furniture and old master paintings act as a backdrop for a superlative group of clocks and watches from the Golden Age of English Horology. Having been custodian of the collection, he and his family have decided that now is the time to share the clocks and watches with like-minded collectors who will appreciate and enjoy the impeccable craftsmanship, mechanical ingenuity and three centuries of history that the collection embodies. 101 EDWARD BANGER LONDON.

  • Chats on Old Clocks
    CHATS ON OLD CLOCKS ARTHUR HAYDEN CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. TIME AND ITS MEASUREMENT—DAY AND NIGHT—EARLY MECHANISM— THE DOMESTIC CLOCK—THE PERSONAL CLOCK—RAPID PHASES OF INVENTION—THE DAWN OF SCIENCE—THE GREAT ENGLISH MASTERS OF CLOCKMAKING—THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF A GREAT ART—WHAT TO VALUE AND WHAT TO COLLECT—HINTS FOR BEGINNERS. The dictionary definition of "clock" is interesting. Clock.—A machine for measuring time, marking the time by the position of its hands upon the dial-plate, or by the striking of a hammer on a bell. Probably from old French or from Low Latin, cloca, clocca, a bell. Dutch, klok. German, glocke, a bell. This is exact as far as it goes, but the thought seizes one, how did it come about that man attempted to measure time? He saw the sunrise and he watched the fading sunset till "Hesperus with the host of heaven came," and the night melted again into the dawn. Nature marked definitely the hours of light and hours of darkness. That was a law over which he had no control. Similarly he watched the seasons—the spring, the summer, the autumn, and the winter; this gave him the annual calendar. It becomes a matter of curious speculation how it came to pass that man divided the year into twelve months, and how he came to give a name to each day, and to determine seven as forming a week. Similarly one is curiously puzzled as to why he divided day and night into twenty-four parts, calling them hours.

Escapement mechanism is a device designed to maintain a constant average speed of the escape wheel, by allowing it to rotate to the desired angle at certain impulse of time. While doing that it simultaneously support the oscillations of the pendulum or balance spring, by compensating for friction losses and air resistance. 7 century long history of escapement mechanisms, from 13th century verge mechanism up to modern-day escapements that can be found in luxury watches, will be shortly presented. Through lives of famous clockmakers and their achievements in field of making escapement mechanism will be given a new insight in science of time keeping - horology.

  • Rationalizing the Royal Navy in Late Seventeenth-Century England
    The Ingenious Mr Dummer: Rationalizing the Royal Navy in Late Seventeenth-Century England Celina Fox In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the Royal Navy constituted by far the greatest enterprise in the country. Naval operations in and around the royal dockyards dwarfed civilian industries on account of the capital investment required, running costs incurred and logistical problems encountered. Like most state services, the Navy was not famed as a model of efficiency and innovation. Its day-to-day running was in the hands of the Navy Board, while a small Admiralty Board secretariat dealt with discipline and strategy. The Navy Board was responsible for the industrial organization of the Navy including the six royal dockyards; the design, construction and repair of ships; and the supply of naval stores. In practice its systems more or less worked, although they were heavily dependent on personal relationships and there were endless opportunities for confusion, delay and corruption. The Surveyor of the Navy, invariably a former shipwright and supposedly responsible for the construction and maintenance of all the ships and dockyards, should have acted as a coordinator but rarely did so. The labour force worked mainly on day rates and so had no incentive to be efficient, although a certain esprit de corps could be relied upon in emergencies.1 It was long assumed that an English shipwright of the period learnt his art of building and repairing ships primarily through practical training and experience gained on an apprenticeship, in contrast to French naval architects whose education was grounded on science, above all, mathematics.

  • The Greenwich Clock at Towneley by Tony Kitto
    The Greenwich Clock at Towneley by Tony Kitto Towneley Hall Art Gallery and Museums 2007 Copyright Burnley Borough Council Reading the time from the Greenwich Clock The hour hand goes round the dial once every twelve hours in the usual way but the minute and second hands take twice as long as is normal. It takes 2 hours for the minute hand to go round. At the top of the dial, starting at 12 o'clock, there are 60 divisions of one minute down to 6 o'clock and another 60 divisions back to 12 o'clock. The minutes are difficult to read because the minute hand shares the same dial as the hour hand. In comparison, it is relatively easy to read the second hand. The second hand goes round its own dial with 120 divisions, marked out in 10 second periods, once every 2 minutes. We expect a minute hand to go round the dial once an hour. Most people estimate the time from the angle of the minute hand but that is misleading when looking at this clock. 2:00 ? 2:15 ? 3:30 ? 3:45? 4:00? yes no, its 2:30 no, its 3:00 no, its 3:30 yes The Greenwich Clock at Towneley The Greenwich Clock in the entrance hall at Towneley is a reconstruction of one of a pair of clocks presented to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich by Sir Jonas Moore in 1676. It was made in 1999 by Alan Smith of Worsley, Greater Manchester, to show how the original clocks worked.
