A George III ormolu-mounted ebonised balloon bracket clockBy Justin Vulliamy, London, circa 1770The shaped waisted case surmounted by a pineapple finial, above a glazed door, with foliate-cast scrolled feet; the 8in. shaped dial plate with silvered chapter ring, Roman numerals and Arabic five-minute markers, enclosing a matted centre, with finely-cut pierced blued steel hands, above a waisted apron, engraved Justin Vulliamy, London, within foliate engraved border, the twin train fusée movement, converted to anchor escapement, with engraved signed backplate, striking the hours on a bell53 cm. high, (one pendulum). Illustrated François-Justin Vulliamy (1712-1797), the son of a pastor at Gingins, in the Pays de Vaud region in Switzerland, he emigrated to England in 1730. Invited into partnership with his future father-in-law Benjamin Gray (d. 1764) around 1743, who the year prior, had been appointed Watchmaker in Ordinary to George II, it was then extended to the partnership. The Pall Mall based business flourished, with output of the highest quality. Following Gray's death the Royal Warrant passed to Vulliamy and continued to be held by the firm throughout the 19th Century.This clock appears not to be numbered. Justin Vulliamy began his numbering around 1780, although the surviving record books begins with clock No. 296 in 1797. So this piece would have been made after Gray's death, when Justin Vulliamy signed in his own name and before he began his numbering in the 1780s.Vulliamy was one of the founding fathers of the Eglise Helvétique in London. Established in 1762 by a group of emigres 'Swiss' from the Geneva, Vaud and Neuchatel regions, which at that time were not part of the Swiss Confederation. It gave them a focal point for their community as well as importantly a form of diplomatic assistance for trade, as there was no consular representation at that time.The design of this balloon clock recalls the Neuchateloise bracket clocks that were no doubt familar to Vulliamy. A tortoiseshell veneered balloon clock by François-Justin Vulliamy is in the Royal Collection (RCIN 2838)
