Beschreibung
George III Bracket Clock, signed Simpson Wigton. England, second half of the 19th century.
Mahogany case with bronze appliques.
Silver dial with gilt bronze spandrels.
With key.
In running condition, but in need of refinishing. Some old xylophagus.
Measures: 44 x 27 x 17 cm.
English table clock, bracket type, with the dial signed "Simpson Wigton". It has a front with a simple architectural composition, raised on a base with a cut-out skirt and finished off with a slope of curved angles. The front of the clock has classical foliate compositions, with vegetal latticework on the sides. The dial is numbered in Roman numerals (hours) and Arabic numerals (minutes). Above the dial, with a silver-plated disc, is a second dial with a chiselled eagle and the engraved inscription "Tempus fugit". The handle finish gives the piece great functionality and makes it easy to carry.
Bracket clocks of English origin date back to the 1960s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock, replacing the previous "foliot" regulator or balance wheel. This change made it necessary to provide the mechanism with a case to protect it from shocks that could alter its movement. This is how transportable watches came into being. These were short case pieces, which housed inside them a mechanism held between two thick plates and containing, as the driving force for each train, a combination of a hub and a snail. These clocks were originally intended to be placed on a bracket, hence their English name.
