An exceptionally fine and rare mid 20th century gilt brass-mounted burr walnut table chronometer with original numbered safety winding keyCharles Frodsham, Clockmaker to H.M. the King, London, 2473. The case modelled on the original 'Sympathetique' clock by Abraham Louis Breguet created in 1814 and in now the British Royal Collection, with curved handle over an oval inspection panel framed by a star-cast running border, each corner set with a three-quarter burr wood column, on a plinth base with heavy gilt brass plate underneath carrying the four levelling screw feet, both sides and doors framed in a cast gilt brass border.The 5.25 inch by 4.25 inch one-piece silvered dial with engraved minute track enclosing the Roman numerals, large subsidiary seconds dial at XII and the power reserve dial at VI, (marked 0-8 with instruction to wind at seven days), with good original blued steel hands throughout. The dial secured to the front plate of the movement via three heavy gilt dial feet screwed from the rear.The movement with thick plates united by four heavy pillars screwed front and back, and further mounted on a substantial brass baseplate with three heavy L-shaped brackets, the single chain fusee with Harrison's maintaining power to an Earnshaw type spring detent escapement mounted on a large platform, with heavy cut and compensated bi-metallic balance on a freesprung blued steel helical spring with diamond endstone, the contrate wheel arbor in a double-screwed jewelled chaton, the backplate with engine turned finish and signed in a polished reserve 'Chas Frodsham, 27 South Molton St., London, 2473'. Together with the original safety winding key, numbered 2473 and with the name 'V. KENNETT'. 31cmns (12ins) to the top of the raised handle.Footnotes:Provenance:Single family ownership for approximately the last 80 years.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a Frodsham/'Breguet' clock has been offered for sale by auction. The high class firm of Charles Frodsham Ltd. created this clock in 1949 as part of their small series of 'reproduction' clocks - other table clocks in the series included 'The Cumming' priced at £49 with plain dial, £53 with a mounted dial; 'The Tompion' priced at £30-32 depending on the mounts, and 'The Ellicott' £28-32 as well as others (for a full list see Mercer, pages 178-182. At £290, The Breguet was by far and away the most expensive of the table clocks. It was the pinnacle of the Frodsham range and perhaps represents more an homage from one great horology house to another, rather than a simple reproduction. With the pick of Breguet's output to chose from, Frodshams opted for Breguet's sympathetique number 666, originally sold to The Prince Regent (later George IV) in 1814 for the princely sum of 11,500 francs, this clock is still in the Royal Collection today. The movement for the clock was supplied before the Second World War by Mercers, and was only cased up by them once trade had returned to some normalcy in 1949. Literature:Daniels, G.

(2003) Precision Pendulum Clocks, The Quest for Accurate Timekeeping. Atglen: Schiffer Publishing, Figs 6-12, 6-13.This historic regulator was the beginning of William Hardy's development of the spring pallet escapement. Using a movement supplied by Raymond, Hardy added his prototype spring pallet escapement to the backplate. Although the escapement has now been removed, all of the evidence exists to prove the original layout. The pendulum too is original - the slot and pin for the original escapement remain as testament to the remarkable escapement.The Precision Pendulum Clock in England from the later Years of the Eighteenth Century. Andrew King.During the eighteenth century there was a constant drive to improve the precision of pendulum clocks. Much effort was expended on the further development of temperature compensating pendulums by exploiting the different expansion rates of metals, notably brass or zinc in partnership with steel. However, it was the mercury pendulum which predominated. Mercury pendulums were never entirely ideal due to the slow reaction of a large mass of mercury in a container of either glass or steel. This was not improved upon until the next century, in 1891, when Sigmund Reifler (1847-1912) patented his invention of mercury contained within the pendulum rod itself where the reaction to the environment was far more sensitive.Developments in escapements were rather slow as well. Richard Townley (1629-1707) and Thomas Tompion (1639-1713) invented the dead beat escapement in 1675, further exploited by George Graham (1673-1751) and others. , the dead beat escapement becoming the predominant choice for regulators.Although there were always isolated attempts to design a variant it was from the middle years of the century that ideas moved towards gravity escapements. Thomas Mudge (1715-1794) invented his gravity escapement in the early 1760s, this seminal concept became the inspiration of other gravity and spring pallet escapements. Alexander Cumming (1732-1814) produced a more complex version of Mudge's design illustrated and described in his publication, The Elements of Clock and Watch Work (1766). Around the same time there was another advancement which had a profound influence.In 1760 the first successful marine timekeeper became a reality with John Harrison's (1693-1776) Watch,'H4' soon to be proven on two voyages to the West Indies. Harrison's life's work proving the practicality of a marine timekeeper within the confines of a large watch. His publication in 1767 of 'The Principles of Mr Harrison's Timekeeper' provided inspiration to others to take up the baton. Even if the publication was obtuse, there were certain enlightening fundamental factors within the concept for the initiated. The initiated included John Arnold (1736-1799) who developed his first marine timekeeper over the next four years. This was undoubtedly inspired by Harrison but redesigned into what became the basis of the modern marine chronometer. The heart of the instrument was the eponymous spring detent escapement controversially invented by Thomas Earnshaw (1749-1829) in 1781, but patented by Arnold in 1782. Although marine chronometers were not widely used for many years they were certainly very well known within the clock making community. Requiring skill in manufacture and equal skill in care and maintenance, the spring detent escapement became the success story in marine chronometry. The concept was not lost on clockmakers. The almost frictionless feature of the spring detent itself requiring no lubrication, an ideal worth pursuing. Clockmakers in both England and France became involved in experimenting with spring pallet and gravity escapements. William Hardy (d.1830) was certainly established in London by at least as early as 1800. His quest for improved precision timekeeping in pendulum clocks led to his experimenting with various designs before his invention of his spring pallet escapement which was first fitted to this regulator, supplied by Raymond, in July 1806. This clock was designed by Hardy who probably provided the cutters for the wheels and pinions for Raymond's use. Raymond's origins remain obscure, and he was only employed by Hardy for this one clock. Hardy subsequently employed the renowned Thomas Leyland to make all future regulators. It is quite clear in this instance that Hardy himself certainly made the cutters for the wheels and pinions for the current lot.With the new escapement fitted together with the newly made mercury pendulum, tests showed such promise over the following five months that Hardy wrote to George Gilpin (c1755-1810), secretary to the Board of Longitude, on the 8th January 1807, introducing himself and describing what he now believed to be a potentially superior timekeeper. He explained that over a three month trial period his regulator had a gaining rate of only four tenths of a second a day. He described to Gilpin how he had experimented with various designs but the latest, the spring pallet variant was showing the most promising results.Hardy, with a bold confidence, asked if his regulator could be submitted to the Commissioners of the Board of Longitude for their consideration, further commenting that he would be 'thankful' if they would advance his request to the Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne (1732-1811) to provide a more stringent trial at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Four months later another letter from Hardy to George Gilpin made it clear that the Commissioners had indeed consulted Maskelyne and that a trial had been agreed to take place at the Observatory. Following a Board meeting, Maskelyne visited Hardy to see ...

A fine and very rare early 19th century English mahogany eight-day marine chronometer with unique sprung bowl designJames Hatton, London, number 402 The case:flame-veneered mahogany two-part case with sprung lid activated by a brass button to the front and two small leaf springs below, the base section with shaped vacant brass escutcheon plate and drop handles, baize lined. Opening to reveal the gimbal ring mounted at opposite corners on substantial brass brackets, with securing lock to the top right hand corner, the ring set to it's inner face with a pair of nickel-silver tapering springs mounted opposite each another at II and VIII, each approximately 20 inches in length and winding around the bowl approximately 375 degrees to terminate in a shaped foot secured to the bowl by three brass screws. The interior of the bowl scratch-numbered 402 and with shaped weight plate, the underside fitted with a sprung winding arbor cover engraved 'Wind up to the Left hand Once A Week.'The dial:4.75 inch signed and numbered silvered dial with outer minute track marked in five minute intervals enclosing the Roman hours intersected at VI by the large subsidiary running seconds dial marked in Arabic tens, the power-reserve sector set below XII marked 1-7, signed across the centre 'Jas. Hatton, London, 402', with blued steel hands throughout (the minute tapering, the hour of pierced spear-form). Secured via three latched dial feet to the movement. The movement:of Hatton's double frame construction and of eight day duration. The barrel, chain fusee and centre wheel set within a shaped frame united by three turned pillars screwed front and back, the barrel with set up ratchet on a substantial shaped cock over cut away sections to offer a view of the mainspring; the remainder of the train set in another smaller shaped plate united by three square-section pillars, the freesprung cut and compensated bimetallic balance with keystone-shaped weights and blued steel helical spring to an Earnshaw type detent escapement. The case 21.5cms (8.5ins) wide. Footnotes:The remarkable pair of tapering springs carry the weight of the bowl, movement, bezel and glass and offer a good deal of shock absorption against any sudden surge or prolonged movement. Another example, number 316 is in the Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris.The celebrated George Margetts (1748-1804) took James Hatton (c.1776-c.1824) as an apprentice. Hatton was no run-of-the-mill pupil the high level of his work, and his innovative approach to design, can be seen in products he jointly signed with Margetts, as well as those finished under his own name. It was almost certainly James Hatton who in about 1800 introduced the double frame construction for his eight day timekeepers. Although Margetts was said to have made improvements to the lever escapement at this time, it is far more likely it was also work done in his name by James Hatton. Hatton was a great asset to Margett's business, principally in the production of watches and pocket chronometers. From 1810 to 1824 he had premises at 4 St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill, London. James Hatton worked from St Michael's Alley, Cornhill from 1799 to 1812. A comprehensive account of his life and work can be found in Betts, J. (2017) Marine Chronometers at Greenwich.

Saturation divers who had previously been issued with Rolex Submariners found that during decompression, the pressure inside the watch would force its way out through the weakest point which usually resulted in the loss of the plexiglass. In response to this, Rolex developed the Sea-Dweller. With a helium escape valve on the side, a greater depth rating of 610 meters and the removal of the cyclops from the crystal, the Sea-Dweller is a true tool watch and has been favoured by professional divers ever since its introduction.This particular version of the reference 1665 succeeded the Double Red Sea-Dweller in 1977. The most noticeable difference was that the red text on the dial was replaced with white text, earning the watch the nickname of 'Great White' amongst collectors. The current example is even more unusual in that it is fitted with a rare rail dial. The rail dial was produced for only two years, between 1977 and 1979, and is so called because of how the 'C' in both 'Chronometer' and 'Certified' line up almost perfectly, reminiscent of the parallel lines of a train track.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Pegasus Overland expedition, as it was known, took 51 weeks with the men travelling through 34 countries. It is believed that the voyage was sponsored by Rolex and each member of the group was gifted a Rolex to wear upon the trip. The current lot is one of this number and is offered on behalf of the family of Peter Finn, a telephonic engineer from Liverpool, who made up part of the octet. The expedition was well recorded and a set of fantastic videos reproducing the original film is available to view via the below links. The footage offers a fascinating glimpse of late 50s life around many places in the world showing snippets of everything from global architecture, fashion, motoring to nature and iconic landmarks. At 12 minutes 37 of video 1 one of the Rolexes gifted can be seen prominently upon the wrist of the driver. Part One Part Two Part ThreeFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
