William Cribb, Southampton Row, London; a Victorian mahogany bracket clock: the single-fusee movement, the six-inch round dial having black Roman numerals, blued-steel moon hands and signed W.E. Cribb, 146 Southampton Row, London, height 32cm.*Biography William Cribb was a well-known chronometer maker first recorded as working in Coventry as a pupil to the influential watchmaker Thomas Hewitt before moving to 17 & 30, Southampton Row, Russell Square, London from 1816 until 1822, then 58, Theobalds Road and finally 146 Southampton Row until his death in 1876 having been a maker to the Admiralty.

A French Louis Philippe boulle mantel clockSigned for Breguet, Paris, circa 1845The circular countwheel bell striking movement with recoil escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped BREGUET A PARIS, 329 to centre over further number 4 11 to lower margin, the rectangular blue on white Roman numeral enamel dial with blued steel pierced heart hands and inscribed Breguet a Paris to lower margin, the rectangular red shell veneered case with hinged gilt brass carrying handle to the engraved foliate scroll brass inlaid top centred with a bevel-glazed panel and with relief cast gilt edge moulding over front with rising glass within conforming brass and shell marquetry surround, the sides of serpentine outline and the rear with hinged door veneered in matching red shell, on stepped brass-edged skirt base with leaf cast gilt bun feet, 21.5cm (8.5ins) high. The Breguet family firm of clock and watchmakers was established by the highly important Swiss horologist Abraham Louis Breguet who was apprenticed at Versailles in 1762. In 1775 he set-up business at quai de l'Horloge in the Île de la Cité in Paris and became famous for the invention of innovative watch escapements including the tourbillon, automatic winding mechanisms, as well as an overcoil balance spring. Within ten years Breguet had commissions from the aristocratic families of France including one for a highly complicated watch for the French queen, Marie-Antoinette. In 1787 Abraham-Louis established a partnership with Xavier Gide, which lasted until 1791. During the revolutionary years Breguet was saved from the guillotine through his friendly association with the revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat, however he had to leave Paris returning to Switzerland before travelling to London. In 1795 he returned to Paris and three years later he was awarded an 'honorable distinction' - the highest award, for 'a free escapement with constant force, applicable to the improvement of both astronomical clocks and longitude clocks' at the 1798 'Exposition des produits de l'industrie française'. In around 1807 Breguet brought in his son, Antoine-Louis (who had previously been sent to London to study with the great English chronometer maker, John Arnold) as a business partner, and from this point the firm became known as 'Breguet et Fils'. The business subsequently grew from strength to strength, particularly in the field of marine chronometer development. When Abraham-Louis Breguet died in 1823 it was carried on by Louis-Antoine alone, and then after his subsequent retirement in 1833 under Abraham-Louis' grandson, Louis François Clément Breguet (1804-1883), before passing to his great-grandson, Louis Antoine (1851-1882), who was the last of the Breguet family to run the business. Condition Report: The movement is in working condition with no visible alterations or significant replacements. Although the movement will run and strike the mechanism is dirty hence a clean/service is required before putting use. The dial has a repaired chip and hairlines to the upper right and further hairlines to both lower corners. These is a scuff near the signature, repaired chipping around the winding holes and slight wear to the regulation square. The centre collet and pin are missing but the hands are secure. The case is generally in good condition but has two very small losses to the shell to the top and some filling to the shell around the brass inlay to the front bottom tier of the skirt. The rear door has a veneer crack, is slightly warped and has veneer repairs/slight losses to the lower rail beneath. Otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other minor blemishes commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum and key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A Fine Victorian rosewood five-glass library mantel clockJames Hux, London, circa 1860The five pillar twin chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum and striking the hours on a coiled gong mounted along with the pendulum holdfast bracket on the backplate signed James Hux, 20 Down Street, Piccadilly to centre, the 4.25 by 4.75 inch fine foliate scroll engraved gilt brass dial further signed JAMES HUX, 20 DOWN St. PICCADILLY in a banner to the upper margin of the centre adjacent to the Roman numeral chapter ring and with blued steel moon hands, the case with large hinged foliate cast carrying handle and generous bevelled top glass to the tablet upstand over stylised leaf decorated cavetto cornice, the front with silvered canted insert to the interior of the glazed dial aperture, the sides with bevelled glasses and the rear with rectangular brass grille inset door, the base with generous ogee outline waist over moulded skirt with brass squat bun feet, 28cm (11ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The property of a private collector; purchased at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks 11th December 2007 (lot 91) for £8,400. James Hux is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London 1851-63. It would appear that Hux was mainly a watchmaker with an example incorporating duplex escapement signed Jas. Hux, 20 Down Street, Piccadilly, Chronometer Maker to the Admiralty to the backplate being described in a letter to the editor of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY, Vol X, No 2 (Spring 1977) on page 229. His brother Rodwell Hux (1823-1869) was also noted by Thomas Mercer as a chronometer-maker.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or replacements. The strike also sounds once on the half hour. The dial has some very light rubbing to the hour numerals otherwise is in fine condition. The case is in fine original condition with minimal shrinkage and wear; the glass panels appear free from any visible damage.Clock has (original) winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A Victorian rosewood small five-glass library mantel timepieceJohn McLennan, London, mid 19th centuryThe four pillar single fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum with holdfast to the shouldered backplate, the 3.5 inch square silvered brass Roman numeral dial signed John McLennan, London and numbered No. 9011 to centre, with blued steel moon hands and fine leafy scroll engraved spandrel decoration, the case with generous bevelled top glass to the tablet upstand over cavetto cornice and fluted frieze, the front with silvered canted insert to the interior of the glazed dial aperture, the sides with bevelled glasses and the rear with rectangular glazed door, the base with generous ogee outline waist over moulded skirt with squat bun feet, 23cm (9ins) high. John Osbourne McLennan was born in Dingwall, north of Inverness, Scotland in 1814. He was a highly accomplished watch and chronometer maker who worked for James McCabe junior and Charles Frodsham. He is reputed to have invented the duo-in-uno balance spring which was challenged by A.P. Walsh, however, as Tony Mercer notes in Chronometer Markers of the World: 'W. B. Crisp suggests that A.P. Walsh saw them at an exhibition of 1862 went home and copied them, then immediately had them displayed in his own showcase.' To demonstrate his design of duo-in-uno spring McLennan incorporated it into perhaps the smallest pocket chronometer ever made. Indeed the the example displayed at the 1862 Exhibition survives (No. 2164) and was sold at Christies, Geneva Important Watches 16th May 2011 (lot 110) for £30,000 CHF; and then at Sotheby's THE CELEBRATION OF THE ENGLISH WATCH PART IV 6th July 2017 (lot 65) for £60,000. John McLennan died in 1886 and was described in his obituary (published in the January 1887 issue of the Horological Journal) as probably the best all-round watchmaker of his time.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial has patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the silvering otherwise appears to be in fine original condition with minimal wear. The case is in good original condition with noticeable faults limited to slight chipping/loss to the upper left hand edge of the cornice projection, some minor wear to the upper margin of the dial mask overlap (only visible with the front door open) and wear to the front door keyhole to the left hand side. Case otherwise in fine untouched condition with minimal shrinkage and of good colour; the glasses are also free form visible damage.Timepiece has pendulum, (original) winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A fine rare George IV brass mounted mahogany table regulatorBarwise, London, circa 1825The four swollen columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with inverted pear-shaped plates, Harrison's maintaining power and delicate pin-wheel escapement incorporating adjustable pallets regulated by heavy disc bob half-seconds pendulum with fine beat adjustment to crutch and suspension bar bridging the movement plates, the frontplate stamped with serial number 738 to the lower margin and the rear signed Barwise, London over the pendulum holdfast screw bracket, the 6 inch circular silvered dial with subsidiary seconds over Roman numeral hour dials and inscribed Barwise, London to centre within outer minute track incorporating Arabic five minutes, with blued steel hands and milled surround set behind a hinged convex-glazed cast brass bezel, the arch-top case with five generous canted brass-fillet edged glazed panels evenly positioned within the curvature of the top and sides of the upper section and fine ebony strung borders around the dial to the front, the tall plinth base section with crisply cut ebonised upper mouldings over brass-fillet edged glazed panel incorporating concealed spring catch and pin hinges to allow access to the pendulum behind and with cockbeaded surround, the sides with fine flame figured veneers and the rear with arched door set within the frame of the case incorporating glazed aperture positioned behind the movement, on moulded skirt with brass bell-shaped feet, 41cm (16.25ins) high.The life of John Barwise and his family are outlined by A.D. Stewart in his article Barwise & Sons: Watchmakers to the King. A brief history of family and firm published in the March 2014 issue of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY (Vol IIIV No. 1 pages 621-34). Stewart notes that John Barwise was born into a clockmaking family in Cockermouth, Cumberland in around 1756. By 1780 he had moved to London where he opened a watch retailing business. Ten years later he married Elizabeth Weston with his address being recorded as 29 St. Martin's Lane where he remained until his death in 1820. Of their eleven children two (possibly three) died in infancy and two, John II (born 1795) and Weston (born 1793), subsequently joined their father in the family business. In 1800, such was his success, John Barwise I purchased a second house in Dulwich.In 1805 John Barwise I was one of the fifteen watchmakers appointed by The Board of Longitude to adjudicate in the dispute between John Arnold and Thomas Earnshaw regarding 'the respective merits of their chronometers'. On the 14th February 1811 Barwise was the victim of five highwayman who relieved him of a 'gold watch, greatcoat, and a guinea-and-a-half in cash' whilst en-route from Camberwell to Dulwich. This unfortunate occurrence may well have tempered Barwise's enthusiasm for his house in Dulwich as records indicate it was rented out to tenants by 1813. In around 1816 his sons, John II (who had just turned 21) and Weston, joined him in partnership with the business then becoming 'Barwise & Sons'. Shortly afterwards (probably in 1820) the firm obtained the Royal Warrant as watchmakers to King George IV.John Barwise senior died in 1820; by this time he was a wealthy man leaving two properties and substantial investments to his widow and children. The business was continued by Weston and John II in partnership, however this only lasted six years as Weston died in 1826 leaving the business in the hands of John II alone. It was at this time that John II married and moved from the family home at St. Martin's Lane to nearby 42 Craven Street; and then in 1840 to a spacious residence called East Lodge, near Acton which at that time was in open countryside. At around the same time John Barwise II entered into an alliance with the highly inventive Scottish Clockmaker Alexander Bain who was in the process of developing the first electric timepiece. Barwise and Bain subsequently filed a patent (No. 8743) for an 'Electro-Magnetic Clock' which was granted in January 1841; an example of which was then subsequently exhibited at the Royal Polytechnic Institution shortly afterwards.In 1842 John Barwise II was approached by Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1878) to assist in the creation of a watch factory which, by employing newly invented machinery, would be able to mass produce high quality watches at a much smaller cost than the prevalent hand-built movements available at the time. Barwise, along with Thomas Earnshaw junior, subsequently became managing directors of the newly established 'British Watch and Clockmaking Company'. The factory was established at 75 Dean Street but only lasted two years before closing due to financial difficulties mostly brought-about by poor reputation fuelled by pressure from rival watch component makers to whose livelihoods the factory posed a great risk. It would appear that John Barwise II had invested most of his personal wealth in the venture as he was declared bankrupt in 1846. With this he lost his house, East Lodge near Acton, but still managed to keep the business afloat - perhaps mainly due to the generosity of his father-in-law, Charles Baumer, who provided the family with a house at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell rent free presumably until Barwise was back on his feet.In 1853 another former business Barwise partner the Calcutta retail Jeweller Robert John Lattey returned to London and became founder and auditor of the 'London & Eastern Banking Corporation'. With the resources of the Bank behind him Lattey (trading as Lattey and Company) took-on Barwise's debt and became owner of the business. It was at this point that John Barwise II stepped back from the firm with the overall management passing to the to the Swiss watchmaker, Jules Rochat who had joined the business in 1847. Unfortunately the situation did not improve under Rochat's tenureship as it subsequently transpired that the funds used to purchase the business were illicitly acquired, and in 1857 the London & Eastern Banking Corporation collapsed.After the 1857 liqudation of Lattey and Company the firm was acquired by the jeweller and Goldsmith Douglas Guillaume Cave and continued, again under Jules Rochat's management, until 1869 when bankruptcy again forced the company to change hands. The firm was subsequently continued under the Barwise name in the hands of several different owners up until 1988 with their last known address being 153 Fenchurch Street. Of John Barwise II, he is recorded in the 1861 census as being a 'chronometer maker out of business' and presumably still resided at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell until his death in 1869.To read more, please refer to the full lot description in the page turning catalogue via the link here.

A Victorian mahogany striking table regulator previously fitted with a spring detent escapementDalgety, Deptford, circa 1850The five Pillar twin fusee gong striking movement with Harrison's maintaining power and tapered plates now with half deadbeat escapement regulated by half seconds cylindrical bob pendulum, the 9 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds over Roman numeral hour dials and inscribed Dalgety, Deptford to centre within outer Arabic minute track, with blued steel hands within canted brass bezel, the arched case with full-height glazed front door enclosing fine scroll carved and pierced apron beneath dial over silvered beat scale inscribed CHRONOMETER, the rear with circular glazed lift-out panel, on cavetto moulded skirt base with outswept block feet, 48cm (19ins) high; with original carved mahogany wall bracket with moulded platform over elaborate strapwork scroll pierced bracket support applied to a cavetto moulded back panel, the clock and wall bracket 95cm (37.5ins) high overall.  Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire; purchased at Bonhams, New Bond Street, sale of Fine Clocks 15th December 2009 (lot 60) for £2,880.  Alexander Dalgety is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Deptford circa 1847. Evidence in the backplate and the pendulum (in the form of a jewelled pallet applied to the rod) of the current lot would suggest that the movement was originally made with a rare form of detached detent pendulum escapement perhaps similar to that seen on a skeleton clock illustrated in Royer-Collard, F.B. SKELETON CLOCKS on page 29 (figure 2-16). Condition Report: As catalogued the movement was originally fitted with a spring-detent 'chronometer' type escapement planted on the rear of the backplate for regulation by the pendulum which still retains one of the detents that would have been required as part of the pendulum rod. The movement now has a deadbeat escapement with the escapewheel positioned between the plates with a cock for the front pivot. Consequently the backcock is a later addition as is the hole for the pallet arbor to pass through the backplate and there are numerous vacant holes left-over from the previous arrangement. In contrast the frontplate appears free of any spare holes or evidence of alteration except for a hole relating to the re-positioning of the fly arbor and one now serving as the pallet arbor front pivot. In its present state the movement is fully operational and keeps reasonably good time; the pendulum would have most likely incorporated a glass mercury jar which has now been replaced with a steel cylinder; the shaft has also been drilled for a holdfast screw which is no longer present.The dial has some slight scratching around the winding holes as well as few spots of discolouration otherwise is in good original condition with nice mellow colour to the silvering. The case is generally in good original condition with only minor veneer shrinkage cracking. The glazed circular rear cover is held in the case by turn catches - the cover has slight warping to the frame and overall wear/losses to the veneer overlap (to the circumference). Internally the fret beneath the dial has at some point snapped and has been re-glued (leaving residue), a simple clean/polish is al that is required to the apron to bring it back to fine visual condition. Otherwise case generally is in fine original condition with only a few minor bumps, scuffs and other very slight blemishes commensurate with age and use. The bracket has a filled slot to the centre of the table otherwise appears to be in sound original condition.Clock has pendulum, winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A Victorian 18ct gold keyless half-hunter pocket watchDent, London, 1895/6The circular frosted gilt three-quarter plate movement with lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance incorporating ruby cabochon endstone and F/S regulation lever to backcock, the backplate centred with triangular DENT trademark over Watchmaker to the Queen., 61, Strand & 4, Royal Exchange, London, N'r 48816, the white enamel Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and further inscribed DENT, 61 STRAND 7, 4 ROYAL EXCHANGE, LONDON, 48816 to centre and with blued steel spade hands, the three-piece consular case with blue enamel Roman numeral chapter ring and small convex glass to front cover, knurled winding crown to suspension post and monogrammed A.P.P. beneath stag head crest to rear cover, case marked for London 1895, makers mark J.W., 5.1cm (2ins) diameter; with original blue velvet and silk lined tooled morocco leather covered presentation case applied with DENT service label inscribed A.P. Parkes to verso. The highly renowned clock and watch making business Dent was established by the talented horologist Edward John Dent, who at the age of 17, transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1843 the firm expanded taking on a second premises at 33 Cocksur Street, with the Strand premises moving down the road to number 61 by 1851. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the 'great clock' to be housed in Stephen's tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed by 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that Dent became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking. Unfortunately Edward John Dent did not live to see the installation of the 'great clock' as he died in 1853. He was succeeded by his stepson Frederick Rippon Dent, who, in partnership with his brother Richard, continued to expand the business. By 1862 the firm had added 34 Cockspur Street and 34 & 35 Royal Exchange to their list of addresses and, although having seen natural passage of ownership over the intervening years, the business still continues to trade today as Dent & Co.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original, is wound but currently not running; the escapement appears undamaged so probably only requires a clean/relubrication. The hand setting function is operational. The dial has light hairline cracks through the centre and there is no inner glass or bezel fitted (no obvious evidence of one being fitted).

A William IV/early Victorian mahogany bowfronted mercury cistern tube marine stick barometerJames Bassnett, Liverpool, circa 1840With concave moulded surmount and cavetto cornice above bow-glazed canted ivory Vernier register plates annotated with the usual observations and signed JAMES BASSNETT, LIVERPOOL to lower left hand corner, the trunk with Vernier adjustment screw and brass gimbal pivots above glazed ivory Fahrenheit scale mercury tube thermometer, the base with moulded cylindrical lacquered brass cistern cover incorporating brass level adjustment screw to underside, 94cm (37ins) high. James Bassnett is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as an optician, clock and chronometer maker working from 4 Barnes Court, Shaws Brow, Liverpool 1829-34 and then from several addresses in Robert Street until 1857 when the firm became known Bassnett and Son.Condition Report: Tube is filled with mercury with no apparent air locks. The ivory scales have some localised patchy discolouration to the lower angles (around the brass securing screws), otherwise appear free from faults; the rack-and-pinion Vernier adjustment is operational. The thermometer tube is undamaged and the scale has a slight crack to the left hand margin (through the 100 numeral). Both the curved 'glasses' for the thermometer and barometer scales have been replaced with polycarbonate with the latter having some adhesive fogging to the upper margin. The case has been cosmetically restored with the moulded pediment block being re-attached slightly off-centre and the timber re-polished. The brass cistern cover has been apart and put back together with the cylinder being slightly off-centre in relation to the upper collar, the lower collar has a small crack in the brass to the leading edge and the underside has been slightly pushed-up. The gimbals are modern replacements. Condition Report Disclaimer

A lacquered brass descending ball timepieceDent, London, circa 1970The circular three-pillar gilt brass movement with inverted platform lever escapement driven by the weight of the timepiece causing flat high-tensile steel line to unwind from an internal pulley wheel as the timepiece descends, the backplate engraved SER. No. 030, the exterior with rotating annular silver Roman numeral chapter ring reading against a hand cast in the form of a mermaid holding a staff, the base with short inverted pendant spire finial and the top with pierced crown surmount issuing the suspension line terminating with a hook to allow hanging from a shaped brass bracket fitted to a mahogany panel applied with plaque engraved Dent, London to lower margin, the ball 11.8cm (4.625ins) diameter; the wall panel 80cm (31.5ins) high. The highly renowned clock and watch making business Dent was established by the talented horologist Edward John Dent, who at the age of 17, transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1843 the firm expanded taking on a second premises at 33 Cockspur Street, with the Strand premises moving down the road to number 61 by 1851. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the 'great clock' to be housed in Stephen's tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed by 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that Dent became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking. Unfortunately Edward John Dent did not live to see the installation of the 'great clock' as he died in 1853. He was succeeded by his stepson Frederick Rippon Dent, who, in partnership with his brother Richard, continued to expand the business. By 1862 the firm had added 34 Cockspur Street and 34 & 35 Royal Exchange to their list of addresses and, although having seen natural passage of ownership over the intervening years, the business still continues to trade today as Dent & Co. Descending ball timepieces were first devised during the Renaissance period with surviving examples being extremely rare, however a relatively late model by J. Schlemmer of Schleswig was offered at Sotheby's New York MASTERPIECES FROM THE TIME MUSEUM, PART TWO June 19th 2002 (lot 103). The current example was devised by Dent in the early 1970's as a 'revival' piece, and was produced as a limited edition (of probably 500 examples) alongside Dent's other revival of a Renaissance timepiece, the' incline plane clock'.

An Omega constellation chronometer, day date with replacement leather strap and original buckle. Missing winder.

A vintage Eterna-Matic chronometer Centenaire gentleman's wristwatch. Diameter 35 mm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The watch appears to be ticking away as it should. The pointers adjust correctly. The pointers are tarnished, and the plated finish worn. The dial itself is generally yellowed and a little discoloured. The case is stainless steel with a gold-coloured metal circumference around the dial and a gold-coloured metal surface to the lugs. There are no hallmarks and we would imagine that the upper sections are gold plated. Clearly the watch is automatic not manual as stated in the description. The first two digits on the case back are 46 followed by 15127. We do not know if the crystal is original. The five balls motif that you refer to is not present. The crystal is in extremely good condition which may indicate a later replacement. The cyclops glass is circular whereas the date aperture itself is square.
