Grottendiek (indeterminate address and title) Bruxelles below the blued steel spade hands, a subsidiary Roman alarm dial set below VII set within an intricate floral engraved brass mask.The triple spring barrel movement with a jewelled Swiss lever platform escapement and half-cut, bimetallic balance with timing screws, the backplate stamped Ch. Grottendiek Bruxelles 9422. Ticking, striking, repeating, and alarming, with a later double ended winding key and numbered (9422) leather travel case with purple velvet interior. 19 cms (7 ins) highFootnotes:François Charles Grottendieck was born in 1834 in Saint Anna, Hannover. His father was Ferdinand Henri, a wholesaler, and his mother was Marie Marguerite Wilhelmine Kruse. In 1863 he was married in Brussels to Eugènie Adélaïde Josephe Henriette, who was four years his senior and also a wholesaler. He is listed on his marriage certificate as a horologist, though it is not known where he served his apprenticeship. The couple appear to have gone into business together; given their backgrounds it seems likely that Eugènie would have managed the running of the shop, while Charles would have focused on repair and possibly finishing/manufacture. Throughout the 1860's-70s there was a horologist by the name of Dessaint-Plet whose shop was based at 10 Montagne de la Cour, Brussels. Plet had taken over the shop from another well-regarded horologist, A. Demeur, who is known to have sold carriage clocks by Paul Garnier. Demeur was also horologist to the King of Brussels, a title Plet seemed to receive with the shop. It is unclear when Plet retired, though it appears that Grottendieck became his successor, both to the shop and the title of horologist to the King and Queen of Brussels. It is unknown how long Grottendieck remained at this address, however, by 1901 the Grottendiecks were operating out of a shop on 80 Rue de la Madeleine, and also living above the shop. This may suggest that they had formally relocated from 10 Montagne de la Cour, rather than working out of both shops.In early August 1901, the shop was burgled, the thieves making off with 100,000 francs of items. This included 100 watches (valued between 100-1,500 francs), 30 gold chains (valued at around 10,000 francs), and 15 diamond and ruby trimmed bracelets (valued between 12 to 15,000 francs). Reportedly, Eugènie came downstairs to open the shop around 6.00, and noticed that one of the windowpanes, normally located 1.6m above the ground, had been removed and left on the shop counter. It was later suggested that the thieves climbed onto the arm of a streetlamp in front of the store, which allowed them to access the first storey window. As the lock was still bolted on the door, it appears the thieves left in the same fashion. Finding the shop had been ransacked, she apparently called up to Charles, who helped her draw up a list of missing inventory, before the police were informed. During questioning, it came out that a customer had come into the shop the previous day and spent ½ hour looking at a pocket watch chain. He left without buying anything, and 15 minutes later two different men came into the shop, looked at the same chain for ½ hour, then also left without making a purchase. These men, the first being identified as French, and the other two identified as Dutch, were listed as the likely thieves. It seems there had been a false alarm in the middle of the burglary, as 40,000 francs worth of jewellery had been left on the shop counter. More chillingly, in the room next to the shop, police discovered a dagger and several lengths of rope hastily left on a table. It does not seem that the perpetrator(s) was ever discovered.Charles and Eugènie had at least three children; Frédéric Jacques Joseph (born in 1865), Paul Désiré Joseph Charles (born in 1869) and Emma Ferdinande Joséphine (born in 1871). The eldest, Frédéric, became a horologist, likely being apprenticed to his father. He married Marie Colette Eugénie Briers in Elsene in 1904. Emma married into a family of wholesalers in 1893, both her brothers serving as witnesses. Interestingly, her husband, Paul Justin Louis Joseph Henriette, would serve as a witness to Frédéric's wedding nine years later.Paul Grottendieck became an engineer in Hainaut, at some point marrying Emma Celeste Louise Dubois. The couple had at least one child, Germaine Charlotte Clotilde Grottendieck, born in 1895, who apparently became an internationally lauded cellist. de Caluwé, J. (2019).

Ticking with a case key, a winding key and a brass cased weight. 187cms (6ft 1.5ins) highFootnotes:Provenance:This clock was presented to Ray Clarke, the vendor's father, on his retirement from The General Post Office in 1988. He joined the institution (later known as British Telecom or BT) at their Studd Street premises in 1950. By the time of his retirement, he was based at Euston Tower and was the last holder of the title Head of Supplies. This precision timepiece had by that stage become obsolete, but earlier on in the century would have played a critical role in the organisation. The 'A' plaque intimates that it was likely part of a pair, and may well have been in use from new, if so, this is the first time it will have been available on the open market.

Ticking with a Tipsy key and a case key. 24cms (9ins) wide 24cms (9ins) wideFootnotes:Exhibited 'Your Time', an exhibition by the Northern Section of the Antiquarian Horological Society at Prescot Museum, February-April 2008; Williamson Museum & Art Gallery, Birkenhead February-April 2008. Exhibit P59.Based on the number, it is thought that this chronometer was made around 1882.The micrometric balance, or as it was marketed, the 'Double Compound Micrometric Equation balance', uses cone shaped weights and three central strips of metal to account for temperature error, including middle temperature error. There is also a collar of brass that partially surrounds the balance, the idea being that, should the fusee chain break, the escapement would still be protected. The escapement was commended when it was introduced around 1862, as allowing the owner to adjust the chronometer's rate without needing to remove the balance.Blake, W.

A mid 19th century bronzed Carriage clock with underslung English lever platform escapementWilliamson, Royal Exchange, LondonSurmounted by a gilt facetted handle on scroll uprights set on a glazed raised section over a moulded cornice, glazed sides and doors, the front corners canted and terminating in upright scrolls to a stepped plinth on gilt button feet.

A giant carriage clock, with a similar aesthetic to the current carriage clock, is known to be inscribed on the back plate 'Craighead & Webb late C. Williamson, Royal Exchange, LONDON'. Craighead & Webb are listed as working in London in either 1836 or 1851 through to 1863, and it seems that in the mid-1840's they were employed in finishing one of Williamson's clocks, which for reasons unknown he was unable to finish. That he had been working on a clock upon his death could suggest that he was relatively young when he died.A rosewood travelling clock by Williamson was sold in these rooms in 15 December 2004, Lot 96.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Ticking, striking and repeating, with winding key. 13cms (5ins) highFootnotes:Paul Storr was born in 1771, possibly a relation of Marmaduke Storr, father and son horologists from London. Paul Storr was apprenticed to Andrew Fogelberg as a silversmith and is first recorded as a 'working silversmith' at 30 Church St., Soho in 1794. Two years later, he had relocated to 20 Air St. Piccadilly, where he would remain until 1806. After this point he moved to 53 Dean Street, Soho, and is joined by four partners: Philip Rundle, John Bridge, Edmund Waller Rundle, and William Theed, formally being described as Storr & Co.. By 1810, Storr & Co. had expanded to encompass 54 Dean Street, though it appears that from 1809-1816, Storr maintained premises at 22-23 Air Street, as well as the north side of Vincent square in 1814. In 1811, Storr & Co. was robbed of 127 oz. (3.6 kg) of silver by one of their porters, James Potter. He was charged with stealing from his employers and transported for seven years.It appears that Storr had a falling out with his partners around 1818; although the business was still named Storr & Co., they were not listed on insurance forms, as they had been previously. He also moved the shop to 17 Harrison Street, Gray's Inn Road. Two years after this move, he was still at this location, though he was now described as a 'gentleman', rather then as a 'working silversmith'. By 1823, Storr was again in partnership, this time with John Mortimer, and they operated out of 13 New Bond Street, while the Harrison Street property seemed to be reserved for manufacturing. Storr & Mortimer were now described as 'silversmiths and jewellers', rather than simple 'working silversmiths'. Mention was also made of Eley & Co. at this time, who were working silversmiths, and with whom Storr & Mortimer. did business with, apparently for repairs.1831 saw the company move to 26 Harrison Street, Grays Inn Lane, and also expand the New Bond Street location, to include both 13 and 14. Less then two years later, they had moved to 156 New Bond Street. By 1835, John Samuel Hunt, a chaser and silversmith, had become a partner, and lived next door to their Harrison-street manufactory, though the firm still traded out of their Bond Street location. It appears that Hunt was responsible for the day-to-day administrative running of the firm, and that Mortimer was responsible for overseeing the designs and production. It seems that around 1838/1839, Storr retired to Brixton, Surrey, possibly dying in 1844. After Storr's retirement, the company was renamed Mortimer & Hunt, and they continued using the same addresses as those used by Storr & Mortimer. Robert Roskell, a watchmaker from a horological family in Liverpool, joined the firm in 1842, and the firm was thus renamed Hunt & Roskell, though the two addresses remained the same.

Ticking with a tipsy key, case key, and a hand-setting key. Also including copies of Chronometer Makers of the World by Tony Mercer, Dictionnaire Professionnel Illustre de L'Horlogerie: Français, Allemand, Anglais, Espagnol by G. A. Berner, Mercer Chronometers: History, Maintenance & Repair by Tony Mercer, and Mercer Chronometers by Tony Mercer. 21cms (8ins) wideFootnotes:The paperwork associated with this lot comprises of an extensive, handwritten description of care of the chronometer, as well as an Admiralty service record from Greenwich Observatory. The record states that the chronometer was initially used in Kilindiri (likely an Admiralty base in Sri Lanka) from 1943-1945, before being returned to T. Mercer, presumably for cleaning and any repairs, at a cost of £1 15s. In 1947 the chronometer was installed on the RFA 'Black Ranger' which largely stayed around Devon and Cornwall during this time, with a voyage to Trinidad noted. The ship also managed to rescue a Greek steamer which was cast adrift due to technical issues. The incident made the headlines, but it was shortly after this, in 1951, that the chronometer was returned to Mercer for servicing (at a cost this time of £4 14s) before being installed on the newly built 'RFA Eddyrock'. This ship, and the chronometer with it, spent most of its career around Singapore. Interestingly, the record states that the chronometer was in Singapore in 1957, before being serviced by Graves Antiques, at a service cost of £95. The 'RFA Eddyrock' was bought by a Singaporean company in 1967, so it is reasonable to suggest that the chronometer remained on board the ship through the entirety of 'RFA Eddyrock's' British career. The record states that the chronometer was 'Taken Off Charge' in 1970, though it is not specified what happened to it when it was taken off charge.https://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-black-rangerhttps://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-eddyrock-ship-informationhttps://ww2db.com/country/ceylonhttps://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C527723This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the UK, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very fine and rare early 19th century ormolu-mounted red marble mantel timepiece with original numbered pendulumVulliamy, London, No. 518Surmounted by a gilt eagle looking to the left with outstretched wings, the shafts of his feathers individually burnished, with boldly cast claws grasping a stylised thunderbolt, set on a plinth over the drum case flanked by a pair of lions, each with finely rendered mane and tail curled around its body, the stepped plinth mounted with a finely cast and burnished foliate scroll frieze centred by acanthus foliage, raised on cast button feet, the side panels with matching acanthus mount. The 3.5 inch gilt dial with engraved dotted minute band framing the matted Roman chapter ring and graduated engine turned centre, with fine blued steel heart-shaped hands enclosed by a snake bezel. The signed and numbered chain fusee movement with circular plates united by four turned pillars with stepped collets and single collar, the high quality train terminating in a half-deadbeat escapement with rise and fall regulation to the original numbered pendulum, with two-piece cock. Ticking. 30cms (12ins) highFootnotes:Provenance: Sotheby's 'The contents of Stonor Park, Oxfordshire' 1970, property of Lady Camoys. The use of a Roman-style thunderbolt sitting below the eagle is very rare in Vulliamy's ouevre, two others are known to us, number 591 (which incidentally uses the same frieze as the current lot), sold Christies 2.10.1991; and number 598 advertised by Blairman in 2015 and later by Anthony Woodburn in 2018. The present lions are modelled 'from nature' by the sculptor James Smith (1775-1815) and are identical to those used on the preceding clock, number 517, which Vulliamy sold in 1814. For a full analysis of the different lions used on Vulliamy's clocks, see Smith, Roger, 'Vulliamy Lions: Their Designers and Modellers, Furniture History Society, Vol. LVI (2020), pp69-82.We are grateful to Roger Smith for his assistance with this entry.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Footnotes:Provenance:This clock was the property of William Eve, mayor of Stoke Newington 1902-1903, and could well have been in his family ownership since new. The Holingue family, also sometimes spelt Hollingue, were generational clock manufacturers, whose workshop was thought to have been established by Jean-Baptiste Holingue in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, possibly in the early 19th century. It was taken over by his two sons, Jean-Francois and Louis, around 1845, or possibly a bit earlier. It appears there was a period when Jean-Francois, presumably the elder of the two brothers, was running the workshop on his own and trading under the name of Holingue fils. This period seems to have begun around 1845, when Holingue fils is mentioned in a civil service journal, and continued at least until 1849, when Holingue fils were awarded a Bronze Medal at the Universal Exposition of that year. The workshop was only mentioned as manufacturing clock movements. It is known that Louis and his partner had a son, Louis Albert, around 1848, which may explain his initial absence from the workshop. It has been suggested that Holingue fils briefly partnered with Emile Martin to form Holingue et Martin, possibly just to exhibit together in the 1851 Exposition. Both workshops were based in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, but this potential partnership couldn't be verified. By 1855, however, Louis seems to have joined his brother, as the workshop had been renamed to Holingue frères. They were advertising as 'makers of rough movements, carriage clocks, 8-day clocks, alarm clocks, etc.' and reference was also made to the bronze medal won in 1849.A year later, at the 1856 Universal Exposition, they received an honourable mention and seemingly had expanded their offerings to include regulators, chronometer blanks, calendar complications, and telegraph movements. In 1857, they listed their business simply as makers of movements, and this description continued until at least 1864. Whether they had stopped producing chronometer blanks, telegraph movements, etc. or they felt it unnecessary to advertise the breadth of their output is unknown. The workshop did exhibit in the Rouen Exposition of 1857, and their entry was described as a 'perfected movement' which struck the quarters and alarm on a carillon. In 1875/76 Louis Albert, Louis' son, appears to have sold the workshop to Drocourt, which was one of the main firms they supplied movements to. It is likely that this sale was due to Louise Albert not wanting to take up the family workshop; he had married in Paris, in 1870, to Victor Reclus' daughter, Henriette Clarisse Amélie Reclus. As the Reclus family had a workshop in Paris and a home in the Parisian suburbs, it is understandable that Louis Albert would not relish the prospect of taking on a workshop in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. It remains unknown if either his father or uncle were alive when the workshop was sold. Drocourt continued to supply rough movements to the Holingue frères former customers, in addition to using the old stock in his own clocks.The following firms and workshops are all known to have used movements by Holingue frères: Moser, Paul Garnier, Moise Bollviller, Drocourt, Leroy et Fils, Athanase Bourdin, Dent, and Victor ReclusNormandy Association (1856) Annuaire des Cinq Départements de la Normandie.
