An American two-day marine chronometer, Hamilton Watch Company, Lancaster, PA, 1941 The circular four pillar single chain fusee nickel finish movement with Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw type spring detent escapement and uncut monometallic ovalising balance with cylindrical timing weights and helical balance spring, the engine-turned backplate with mainspring set-up ratchet, balance locking fork and inscribed MODEL 21, 14 JEWELS, HAMILTON WATCH CO., LANCASTER, PENN. to margin, the frontplate with conforming engine-turned decoration and stamped with serial number 2E2800, the 4 inch circular silvered Arabic numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial inscribed N 2800, 1941 beneath signature HAMILTON, LANCASTER, P.A., US. A. and DOWN/UP state-of-wind dial to centre, secured by a screw-down bezel into a lacquered brass bowl with shuttered winding hole to underside, mounted via gimbals into a mahogany two-tier box with glazed top panel, brass side handles and simple clasp to front, 19cm (7.5ins) wide excluding handles; with a copy of Gould, Rupert T. THE MARINE CHRONOMETER, Its History and Developments, Antique Collectors’ Club, Woodbridge 1989, with dj (ex. institutional library copy with stamps), (2). At the outbreak of the Second World War there were no domestic makers of marine chronometers in the United States hence the U. S. Navy looked to watch manufacturers to develop timepieces that would be both suitably accurate and able to be mass produced. The Elgin and Hamilton watch companies both rose to the challenge but it was only the latter who were able to satisfactorily fulfil the brief for mass production. In addition to the model 21 chronometer Hamilton also produced a smaller version, the model 22, which was essentially a gimballed deck watch. In use the model 21 proved extremely accurate hence is considered by many as being at the pinnacle of mechanical marine timekeeping.

Henry Hindley was born in Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire 1699, little is known about his early life, however by the mid 1720’s he was making clocks in Wigan where he repaired the church clock in 1726. Hindley moved with his young family (including his son, Joseph born 1728) to the prosperous city of York where, after making clocks for the Mansion House and Guildhall, he gained his Freedom of the city in 1732. Hindley s talents were such that he equipped his workshop with tools of his own design including an important dividing and wheel cutting engine, a screw cutting lathe and a fusee engine. As well as domestic clocks Hindley received commissions for several turret clocks including York Minster and supplied a range of scientific instruments including two important equatorial telescopes for the Duke of Norfolk and William Constable. By the 1760 s Hindley s health had deteriorated to the extent that an ever increasing proportion of the business was handled by his son Joseph. Henry died in 1771 with his son and successor Joseph unfortunately dying just three years later in 1774, before he had had the opportunity to stamp his own mark on the family firm. Hindley s work demonstrates a highly inventive exacting approach with each clock perhaps varying in some way to its predecessor ensuring constant refinement in design and layout. The quality of the finish of his work is generally exceptional being comparable to the very best London makers of the period which is why many collector’s refer to Hindley as the ‘Tompion of the North’. The movement of the current lot is no exception being a particularly fine example of Hindley’s work exhibiting inventive details such as the cranked pumping mechanism for the calendar dial, gravity fed rack striking, concealed clicks to the barrels and combined hammer spring and stop. The bolt-and-shutter maintaining power is beautifully executed and the movement exhibits the rare feature of having brass dust shutters fitted. The winding key present with the clock is suitably finely made and is most probably original.The case is also of the finest quality and as equally distinctive as the movement with the hood in particular featuring fine crisp mouldings and generous architecturally correct Doric columns. Unusually the hood is fixed integral to the trunk hence the movement and dial have to be inserted into the case via the dial aperture, the doors to the sides then allow the pendulum to be hung and the lines for the trip repeat and maintaining power connected. The reason for this arrangement is not obvious but it seems that Hindley sought to make the movement difficult to access/examine on purpose. From this it is perhaps appropriate to speculate that the current lot could have been supplied for a semi-public environment requiring the design to incorporate ‘anti-tampering’ features which would have served to reduce the chances of others copying some Hindley’s innovative features as well as preventing inexperienced individuals making unwelcome adjustments. Indeed if this is the case then it is possible that Hindley himself was initially contracted to tend to the clock. The inside of the trunk door is applied with a paper label inscribed in ink Sep’r 68 and Nov 30th 87 G.W. these probably note/record subsequent servicing of the clock. Indeed the visible positioning of this information also supports the possibility that the current lot was originally supplied for a semi-public environment where such information would need to be visible to ensure that the clock is correctly maintained.
