A fine and rare early Germanic pierced gilt brass clock watch. Unsigned, early 17th century, The gilt full plate verge fusee movement with baluster turned pillars, later sprung three-arm brass balance and plain backcock, standing barrels for both the strike train and alarm each sounding on a pork pie shaped bell within the rear cover, the backplate with recessed countwheel driven by a spur pinion engaging with teeth to the inside rim, worm set-up for the fusee mainspring, stopwork for the alarm and now engraved with various Hebrew characters, symbols and a bird standing beside a conifer, the dial with blued steel hand now fixed to a rose centre engraved gilt brass alarm disc annotated anticlockwise with Arabic numerals to outer edge within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with quarter hour divisions to inner track and triform half hour markers, the surround decorated with twelve hatched panels, the two-part twelve sided case with bell fitted to the inside of the rear cover decorated with symmetrical pierced scrolling strapwork and now engraved with the twelve Hebrew tribes above arcade pierced girdle, the front cover pierced to resemble a rose window and now with further engraved script to angles, the base with turn clasp and threaded panel for a pendant finial (lacking) the top with a post fitted with a suspension ring, 6.1cm wide. The current lot can be dated to the early years of the 17th century due to the provision of a fusee for the going train and the use of brass for the wheelwork. During the latter years of the 16th century German makers adopted the fusee in preference to the stackfreed to equalise the power of the mainspring and moved away from the use of steel for the wheelwork. The recessed countwheel (driven by a spur pinion engaging with teeth to the inside of the rim) is typical of German practice of the period and is a remarkable feat of workmanship and can be compared to a slightly earlier stackfreed example housed in The Basingstoke Museum and illustrated in Camerer Cuss, T.P. The Camerer Cuss Book of ANTIQUE WATCHES Plate 6 (page 52). The design of the case is perhaps a little old fashioned for a watch dating to the early 17th century but is conceived to facilitate the easy passage of sound out of the watch and for the time to be read without opening the front cover. Such cases passed out of favour during the early decades of the 17th century with the fashion moving towards fully enclosed models, often with finely decorated external surfaces.

A French gilt brass gorge cased carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm.

A Queen Anne brass lantern clock.

James Drury is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as admitted to the Clockmakers` Company in 1687, gaining his Freedom in 1694, appointed Master in 1728 and died 1740.

A French brass lantern clock.

An unusual padouk wood musical alarm table clock. Berguer London, probably early 19th century, The five pillar twin chain fusee movement with verge escapement and alarm playing a choice of two peels or a lively melodic tune on eight bells, the backplate engraved with an urn within a rococo scroll cartouche and decorative border incorporating leafy sprays to angles, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm disc to the matted centre and blued steel hands within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Berguer, London to lower edge the angles with female mask and scroll pattern spandrels beneath arch with CHIME/SILENT dial flanked by conforming scroll cast mounts, in a case with brass carrying handle to a moulded panel following the profile of the break-arch top with brass pineapple finials, the front door with ebonised fillet mouldings to the glazed aperture and brass inset angles, the sides with circular foliate scroll engraved brass sound frets above concave-topped windows, on moulded base with brass bracket feet, 39.5cm (15.5ins) high. Four makers with the surname Berguer (probably brothers) are recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London during the first quarter of the 19th century; Frederick 1805-24, John 1809-24, Francis (Holborn) 1820 and Joseph 1820. Two generations of makers with the same surname are also recorded working in Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland during the 18th century hence it is probable that the London based makers at the start of the 19th century were first generation immigrants. The fact that the maker of the current lot was probably an immigrant may account for the unusual specification of the movement (which plays music as an alarm only) as well as the individual nature of the detail design of the case. These variations perhaps echo those seen on clocks made in London by an earlier generation of Huguenot immigrant makers working during the early years of the 18th century.

An extremely rare Charles II travelling timepiece with silent-pull repeat, alarm and calendar. Robert Seignior, London circa 1685, the pierced silver case of later date. The 4 inch diameter circular movement with five finned and knopped pillars secured with blued steel latches to the tulip and foliate trail engraved gilded backplate applied with a scroll pierced and engraved balance cock, double-headed alarm hammer and central bell, the going train with chain fusee and verge escapement regulated by a sprung three-arm flat rimmed steel balance, the silent-pull repeat powered via a standing barrel mounted on the inside of the backplate and now sounding the hours only on the bell mounted to the rear of the movement, the alarm with further standing barrel mounted on the frontplate and crown wheel for the dumb bell type hammer sounding on the same bell, the 4.5 inch circular gilt brass dial with recessed silvered alarm disc, ringed winding hole and calendar aperture to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with quarter hour inner track, stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes within the narrow outer track and signed Rob.t Seignior, Londini Fecit to lower edge, with pieced blued steel hands and herringbone engraved outer border, now in a silver case of later date finely pierced and chased with panels in the Renaissance style with scrolling acanthus incorporating figural terms and grotesque masks, putti and squirrels divided by repeating borders including a pair of profile portrait medallions, the hinged front cover with convex glass within foliate cast bezel, opposing hinged rear cover relief decorated with a bathing scene with an old man attended by semi-clad female figures within elaborated pierced double border, the top fitted with a ball pivoted cast suspension ring, (repeat work formerly sounding the quarters on a second bell), diameter 13cm (5ins) overall depth 10cm (4ins). Robert Seignio(u)r is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as apprenticed to John Nicasius gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1667. He worked in Exchange Alley and was often at loggerheads with the Clockmakers` Company. In August 1674 he was appointed the King`s Clock and Watchmaker `without fee` until the death or surrender of office by Edward East, presumably to ensure succession of the role in the event of East`s demise. This appointment was never formally fulfilled as East outlived Seignior who died in 1687. The current lot is a particularly rare model as it is neither a table clock suitably adapted and scaled for travelling purposes, or a large clock-watch as the scale of the movement and details in construction and design are more akin to clockmaking practice rather than watchmaking. The design and layout of the repeat work closely resembles the earliest silent pull mechanisms first used by leading makers such as Joseph Knibb (See Allix, Charles and Harvey, Lawrence Hobson`s Choice pages 36-41 for closely related table clock repeat work). The engraved decoration to the backplate is again closely related to designs found on contemporary table clocks by the leading makers and can be directly compared to an example by Seignior dated to around 1680 illustrated in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks Plate 512 (page 359). The design of repeat work, style of movement pillar, backcock, engraving and other features such as the distinctive `S` scroll shaped cocks for both the alarm going train crown wheel lower pivots identify the movement and dial of the current lot as unmistakenly English. However two similar travelling timepieces by the Hague maker Johannes Van Ceulen are known. The first example is illustrated in Bruton, Eric THE HISTORY OF CLOCKS AND WATCHES page 173, this appears to be an alarm timepiece only and is housed in a plain drum shaped case with a foliate pierced band towards the rear to allow the alarm to be heard. The case may give an impression of how the original for the current lot may have appeared (the present fine purpose-made elaborately chased and pierced silver case is probably Continental and of later date). The second example is illustrated in Bertele, Hans von MARINE & POCKET CHRONOMETERS and is described as a `ship`s cabin clock`. This second example is generally a more complex model as it appears to strike, have a calendar dial as well as an alarm, and is housed in a more elaborate silver case with pierced decoration to rear cover. The original client for the current lot must have been an extremely wealthy individual to be able to afford the luxury of such a fine timepiece exclusively for travelling purposes. Furthermore a subsequent owner must have also valued it highly enough to commission such a fine purpose-made silver case to be supplied to house the movement and dial.
