The Gratte clock was originally in the private museum of the Earls of Buckingham at Stowe House. The contents of the museum were sold by auction in 1848, and the clock's current whereabouts is unknown. It would appear that Gratte supplied other makers with these clocks, including Horne & Ash (working 1808-1817), George Jamison (an example is illustrated and discussed in Derek Roberts, 'Skeleton Clocks', Woodbridge 1987 Figs 1/2 a to c.), and Paul Philip Barraud.Jamison and Barraud were well known to one another – along with William Howells they produced precision timekeepers based on the principles of Thomas Mudge until 1799. Another spherical clock by Barraud with additional world time chapter ring is illustrated in Cedric Jagger 'Paul Philip Barraud', Ramsgate, 1968 Fig XIX, a) and b).
