AN UNUSUAL VICTORIAN SPRING-DRIVEN 'REGULATOR' TIMEPIECEALEXANDER BAIN, LONDON, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe substantial four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with plates measuring 7 by 5.75 inches, Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by heavy lenticular bob half seconds pendulum incorporating fine beat adjustment to crutch and wide jaw suspension set on a separated A-frame, the 11 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with recessed subsidiary seconds over signature Alexander Bain, PATENTEE to centre and with scroll pierced steel hands, now mounted on a seatboard raised on blocks within a rectangular mahogany four-glass case with cushion moulded projecting top and cock-beading to the glazed apertures of the lift-off cover, on conforming moulded platform base.40cm (15.75ins) high, 36.5cm (14.5ins) wide, 24cm (9ins) deep. Alexander Bain was born in Caithness Scotland circa 1910 and trained as a clockmaker in Wick before moving to London where he set-up as a Journeyman in 1837. Bain rapidly became interested in the application of electromagnetic principles into precision horology developing designs for his 'earth-driven' pendulum timepieces by the mid 1840's. Lack of funding and disputes with Sir Charles Wheatstone stalled development until 1848 when Bain published his 'Patent' designs for electromagnetic pendulum timepieces. Examples of his work were subsequently exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition where he was awarded Medal Class X by the Exhibition Council; Alexander Bain then went on to publish A Short History of the Electric Clocks... the following year. Little is known about his movements during most of the 1850's however his wife, Matilda, died in 1856 which may have precipitated his departure to North America in 1860. Unfortunately, his attempts to establish himself there brought him into conflict with the Business of Samuel Morse; this drained Bain's resources to the extent that by 1872 he was back in Scotland working from an Optician's shop in Glasgow. In appreciation for his contribution to electrical horology and the telegraphony, William Dalglish and Lord Kelvin made an application to the Royal Society for a modest pension to be paid to Alexander Bain. However, throughout the second half of the 1870's his health deteriorated until he eventually became paralized and died in January 1877. Alexander Bain is considered to be an important pioneer in the field of electrical horology. This, coupled with the rarity and quality of his work means that his extant 'earth driven' timepieces are highly sought-after by collectors today. The backplate of the present lot has a short extension to the seconds arbor and two pairs of holes towards the right-hand margin. These details would suggest that the present movement was originally fitted with some form of electrical contacts possibly to drive electric slave dials. This possibility is further supported by the fact that the pairs of holes are of reasonably large diameter (4-5mm) indicating that insulating inserts were probably fitted to electrically isolate contact points from the movement itself.
