Provenance: The Pickford family. This clock has been in the Pickford family from new. It is accompanied by an undated, handwritten note “Grandfathers Clock. Made by John Pickford at his works, Water St, Liverpool in the years approx between 1826 and 1848. Brass weight 8lbs 8.75oz. Glass mercury container 1lb 2.5oz. Mercury only 11lbs. Willed to my son John Berry Pickford signed by myself Charles A Pickford”
Loomes lists John Pickford working as a clockmaker in Mersey Street, Liverpool from 1814-1851. Like many regulators, the name on the dial is not necessarily the name of the maker and it is highly likely that this movement was supplied by one of the highly respected members of the Condliff family of Liverpool. The crutch for instance, has their typical beat regulation and shaped fork, and the pendulum stirrup has a fine thread adjustment above the crutch with distinctive shaped steel pointer.

An identical model is illustrated in Roberts, British Skeleton Clocks, Plate 14 and 3/14 which bears a remarkable similarity to a clock that Pace exhibited at the Great Exhibition described as:
“Pyramidal skeleton timepiece, which goes three months. The dial is placed at the bottom of the clock to show the motion of the wheels; Graham’s dead beat escapement, and the hands moved by a simple mechanism.”
The design of this clock has aged extremely well. It is as fresh today as when first unveiled in the mid 19th century. Indeed, perhaps it played some inspirational part in the development by Jaeger le Coultre in the post War period of their transparent clocks using their ‘in-line’ movements?

Ahasuerus Fromanteel’s 1658 advert has ensured that his name will be forever associated with the introduction of the pendulum clock to Britain, but one could argue that a more involved role was played by his lesser-known son John. It was after all John, and not Ahasuerus, who travelled to The Hague in September 1657 and worked alongside Salomon Coster at the bench in his workshop, discussing the new technologies before him. It was John who returned to London and imparted the knowledge to his father and he was surely involved in the production and finishing of the earliest clocks such as the sublime ‘Cupid Fromanteel’ sold in these rooms June 2011.

In Mark of year. By the time he was creating his complicated clocks he French’s short film ‘Timelines’ Roland explains that as a young boy, had moved to a disused Victorian red brick chapel in Hastings Old he visited the 1937 Paris Exposition Internationale with his father.

Between 1945 and 1951 he studied engineering at Guildford Technical Roland’s interest in horology drove him to design and build a number College and King’s College London, putting his degree to use during of highly complex astronomical clocks, many of which were exhibited, his National Service working on Radar at the Military College of including a Tellurian clock at the Science Museum and 3 examples at Science. After being discharged from the army Roland was briefly the 1985 ‘Clock and Watchmaking Today’ exhibition alongside George employed as an engineer. Daniels and John Wilding. It was these two eminent horologists who wrote letters of commendation to support Roland being made At the age of 24 he decided to become an artist (much to his father’s a Fellow of the British Horological Institute in 1991. This had been dismay) and attended the Chelsea College of Art under the tutelage preceded by awards for his clocks by the Worshipful Company of of Ceri Richards, followed by several years in Paris developing Clockmakers in 1987 and 1991. The largest exhibition was held at his art through a Government scholarship. His artistic output was the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery in 1991, where 14 clocks were prolific and his style firmly fixed in this post-War period, his paintings displayed alongside their plans. continuing in the Cubist tradition for the rest of his career, his later works reminiscent of Picasso’s ‘Guernica’, the painting that was the Bonhams Fine Clock department is proud to offer a number of these backdrop to Calder’s Mercury Fountain’ in the Spanish pavilion. clocks on behalf of his estate. The clocks are invariably unique highly His fascination with clocks started in the 1960’s when he purchased complex and finely made with great attention to detail, not just in a broken fusee movement which he subsequently restored to working relation to the movements, but also to the dials, cases and materials. order. This lead to his lifelong love of horology, which along with his These are examples of one man’s exceptional life’s work which art allowed him to combine the logic and precision of the engineer not only continue a long tradition of horology, but also make those with the instinctiveness and spontaneity of the artist. The resulting traditions relevant to a modern setting. movements and dials are of great mechanical complexity and are housed in carefully proportioned and finished cases. In ‘Timelines’ he illustrates this point by comparing the longcase clock case to the proportions of the human form and by extension to sculpture.

This highly specialised instrument would have been an invaluable aid to any astronomer in the 18th century. The loud tick coupled with Observatory marks on the runing seconds dial would make short- period time measurements easy, while the additional ringing of the bell on the minute, every minute would have made longer sightings easier to record without diverting ones gaze from the telescope. Rare in their day, they are even more so today. As a piece of horological and scientific apparatus they have much to give; the thickness of the plates, the finish of the wheel work and the dial engraving is all of an excellent standard.

Records at the National Maritime Museum confirm that this chronometer was supplied to the Admiralty on 20 October 1822. Originally under the stewardship of Liet. J Shover aboard HMS Carnation, it spent time on Gloucester, Jasper and Vernon into the 1830s, with occasional trips back to the makers.
On June 9th 1837, it was transported aboard HMS Beagle to Portsmouth. Beagle had only returned from her most famous voyage with Captain Robert Fitzroy and Charles Darwin the year before, but already she was back to standard work. Another chronometer, Jackson number 512 was similarly transported and was sold in these rooms 19 June 2007, lot 39. And of course, two of the chronometers that accompanied the Voyage were also sold in these rooms, on 10th December 2014 lot 26 and 9th July 2014 lot 120.
It was regularly serviced by Dent and the last record, dated August 23rd 1887 states that it was
“Given with other Chronos to E.Dent & Co. in exchange for D.W.Dent 43109 & 43110”.
Copies of the ledger sheets accompany this lot and we are grateful to Peter Linstead-Smith and Rory McEvoy of the National Maritime Museum for their assistance in researching this lot.

Godfrey Poy worked in at least three fashionable addresses in central London from 1718 to 1753 including Pall Mall and Haymarket. He was capable of exceptional work; a very rare quarter chiming table clock in a padouk wood case was sold in these rooms from the Cortlandt Moore collection of fine clocks on 16th December 2015, lot 89 for a hammer price of £25,000. Barder, in ‘The Georgian Bracket Clock’, ACC 1993 illustrates “A very fine musical clock with an ebonised case, brass mounts and engraved brass sound frets. Circa 1740.”
Research into the casemaker John Holt has thus far proved fruitless, but this is ongoing. The two signed panels offer an exciting opportunity for further research into this under-developed aspect of the horological and furniture trade of the 18th century.
