The Mayfair - Rhodium Plated Movement & Black Lacquer Base

H.21"(53CM) W.13"(34CM) D.10"(25CM)

The Mayfair is based on a timepiece originally made in France, an elegant design popularly referred to as the 'Great Wheel'. During the Victorian period these skeleton clocks became very fashionable, particularly due to their prominence at the Great Exhibition in 1851. The simplicity of the movement is achieved by omitting a wheel and making compensating changes to the gear train. This handmade fusee movement is an elegant contemporary version of the Mayfair combining the rhodium plated movement with a piano finish black lacquer base.

The Congreve - Rhodium Plated Movement & Carbon Fibre Base

H.14"(35CM) W.10"(25CM) D.10"(25CM)

The Congreve, or Rolling Ball Clock, is named after its inventor Sir William Congreve (1772-1828) and is a favourite of clock collectors. The original clock was presented to the Prince of Wales in 1808 and is part of the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace. Congreve was a prolific inventor famous for making the first solid fuel rockets at the Royal Arsenal in Woolwich in 1805 and subsequently used during the Napoleonic wars. It has been suggested that his clock was created for military purposes and the first "ball" used to trip the escapement was a musket ball. This certainly makes sense because the principle of the mechanism is such that the accuracy is limited to +/- 15 minutes per day. This timepiece is a stunning contemporary version of the Congreve with the rhodium plated movement mounted onto a gloss lacquered carbon fibre base.
