Fine Paul Garnier Series I repeater carriage clock striking on a bell, the back plate signed P.G. Brevete and Baullier Pere et Fils, the 3" silvered chapter ring within a silvered engine turned mask, also with a foliate engraved platform escapement, with vertical rising front door to enable winding, within a one-piece case, 7" high *This clock was sold at Bonhams on 12th October 2014, lot 351 for £1250 *This clock was possibly originally fitted with a chaff cutter escapement, although it is fitted with a high quality old English platform which might be original. *Most collectors associate Paul Garnier movements as having the chaff-cutter escapement as patented by him in 1830; a form of escapement that supposedly allowed for a more robust action and improved timekeeping as compared to the still commonly used cylinder. Indeed, it is often suggested that a Garnier movement without a chaff-cutter has had the platform changed or is not a Garnier. However an analysis of these movements shows that a large proportion of Garnier clocks made from circa 1840 were in actuality fitted with the lever platform escapement and not the chaff-cutter, with the majority having the corner cut-out of the platform to accommodate the positioning of the rack lifting piece. Magistretti & Pippa mention some 98 Garnier clocks in their chapter on Garnier of which thirty-six have some form of escapement described. Of this thirty-six, 21 are lever escapements, 13 chaff-cutter and one a duplex, with the majority of platform lever escapements recorded after circa 1840, incidentally the year the ten-year chaff-cutter patent ended.*The above information is taken from published research undertaken by Leigh Extence
