Provenance: Acquired by the present owner from Asprey, London in 1997. Joshua Drabble does not appear to be directly recorded in the usual sources however it is most likely that he is connected to the father and son clockmakers each named Joseph Drabble who are recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working circa 1720-80 and in around 1795 respectively. Joshua Drabble appears to have been an accomplished maker with a regulator by him being one of the first items donated to the Royal Astronomical Society. This timepiece was formerly the property of Colonel Mark Beaufoy, one of the first members of the Royal Astronomical Society, and was presented upon his death by his son, George in 1827. This regulator was often loaned out to fellows and actively used in scientific experiments in the years after it came to the Society, before returning to Burlington House where it remains central to the Society's historical legacy. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and is free from any visible alteration or significant replacements. The main enamel dial disc has feint hairline star cracking to centre as well as another between the VII and VIII numerals; the surface also has overall very light flecking to the fired surface which appears to be from manufacture which is best described has having the appearance of light paint overspray. The enamelled disc to the arch is in fine condition as is the rest of the dial. The movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in fine original condition with noticeable faults limited to some shrinkage cracking to the arch of the top. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age related bumps and blemishes. The veneers of the case have fine colour/patination.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and two case keys.Please ask the department for additional images Condition Report Disclaimer

Provenance: Purchased by the present owners from Asprey, London, 21st October 1987 for £4,400. James McCabe junior succeeded his father of the same name was one of the most successful English clock and watchmakers of the 19th century. He was apprenticed to Reid and Auld of Edinburgh and was admitted to the Clockmaker's Company as a Free Brother in 1822. Around this time McCabe entered into short lived partnership with Strahan (probably Charles who gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1815). From 1826 James McCabe managed the business alone from 97 Cornhill until 1838 when he was forced to temporarily relocate to 32 Cornhill due to a major fire at the Royal Exchange. Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial has been restored to a reasonably high standard. The movement and dial are original to the case and the case is in fine condition with faults very much limited to very minor historic bumps and scuffs. The baseboard of the case has a hole in the centre suggesting that at one time the case was probably fixed to a wall bracket at some time in the past.Clock is complete with its original pendulum, case key and a winder.
