Provenance:The property of a private collector. Previously sold at Christies, King Street sale of THE COLLECTIONS OF PRICIPESSA ISMENE CHIGI DELLA ROVERE AND A NOBLE GENOESE FAMILY 4th February 2015 (lot 192) sold for £3,750. The Courvoisier family of clockmakers partnership between Louis Courvoisier (1758-1832) and his father-in-law Captain Louis-Benjamin Robert (1732-1781) was established in 1781. In 1787 Robert died leaving his share of the business in control of his widow, Charlotte. This arrangement continued until 1811 when Louis Courvoisier took his son, Frederic Alexander took in his son to form 'Courvoisier et Cie'. The current lot is a fine textbook example of an early design of pendule portative termed 'Pendule d'Officier'. Although this form of portable timepiece originated during the 1780's they apparently became popular during the period of the Napoleonic wars, particularly amongst the officer class, hence the term 'Pendule d'Officier'. The Courvoisier family were the leading makers of this type of portable timepiece during this period and became important in the establishment of carriage clock making industry in the Chaux-de-Fonds region of Switzerland.A clock of related design by Courvoisier and Companie is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 19, (Figure 1.24); the present lot is particularly notable in that it is of eight-day duration rather than the usual thirty-hour. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The clock is running and the grande-sonnerie striking is fully operational including the selection lever to the underside. The alarm will wind but tripping is erratic hence requires adjustment. The dial has been restored to repair chips and cracks which were previously present mostly around the winding holes. The case is in fine original condition retaining original gilding albeit with some wear/rubbing and slight discolouration to the extremities.Clock is complete with a winding key.
