An unusual plated brass cylindrical timepiece with alarm. Carter, London, late 19th century. The circular four finned-pillar spring barrel movement with five-spoke wheel crossings and lever escapement set between the centre pair of plates and sprung monometallic balance aligned within a circular aperture to the backplate, the rear of the movement with further movement blanking plate cut with Slow/Fast regulation sector, with threaded going and alarm winding keys, knurled hand and alarm setting turns, alarm hammer sounding on the interior of the case and engraved No. 347 to the spotted rear surface, the 2 inch circular gilt Roman numeral dial with alarm setting hand applied to the flush rotating disc centre within chapter ring with outer minute track and signed CARTER, 61 CORNHILL at XII, with blued steel spade hands, the plain cylindrical case with canted bezel behind convex glass and threaded rear cover with knurled edge, 6.5cm (2.5ins) diameter. John Carter is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1817 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1829. He was an accomplished chronometer maker who won numerous awards at the 1838 chronometer trials; by 1840 he had set up business in 61 Cornhill. In 1855 Carter and held the position of juror at the Imperial Exhibition held in Paris and was appointed Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers three times (in 1856, 59, and 64). As well as being a highly skilled horologist John Carter was also notable as a civic activist -perhaps due to his experiences as a child as he was orphaned at an early age. His charitable nature lead him to be elected Lord Mayor in 1859, he died 1878. The current lot is noteworthy in that a great deal of thought seems to have gone into its layout and finish. The construction of the movement with the dial, movement and rear blanking plates forming a compact three-tier frame into which the wheelwork has been carefully arranged, this coupled with details such as five-spoke wheel crossings, integral sprung ratchets and finely turned pillars demonstrates an individual high quality approach.

A fine and rare small William III ebony table timepiece with silent pull quarter repeat. Samuel Watson, London, circa 1695. The five finned pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement and silent pull quarter repeat on two bells, the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate signed Samuel Watson, LONDON to a central shaped cartouche beneath elaborate pierced backcock apron, the 5.25 inch square brass dial with single winding hole and curved false bob aperture backed with scroll engraved infill to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and outer track divided to thirty second intervals and unusually numbered 0 to 60 twice, the lower edge with repeat signature, the angles applied with small winged cherub head spandrels within fine foliate scroll engraved border, the case with hinged cast gilt brass ‘Quare’ pattern double scroll carrying handle and vase centred foliate decorated repousse mount to the caddy surmount above moulded cornice and foliate scroll pierced lozenge sound fret to the upper rail of the front door the uprights with scroll decorated gilt repousse escutcheon mounts, the sides with short over long rectangular sound frets, on moulded shallow skirt base with block feet, (movement and case with old repair and restoration), 28cm (11ins) high excluding handle. Samuel Watson was an important clockmaker and mathematician who is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as initially working in Coventry from around 1680 where he was Sheriff in 1686 before moving to London in around 1691; he was admitted to the Clockmakers’ Company as a free Brother in 1692. He was supposedly ‘Mathematician ordinary’ to Charles II for whom he made an astronomical clock in 1682 followed by another clock which he did not finish until after the King’s death. This clock was eventually sold to Queen Mary on its completion in 1690 and is preserved at Windsor Castle albeit in a later case. He also made two further complex astronomical clocks for Isaac Newton and invented five minute repeating for watches. In November 1712 Samuel Watson approached the Clockmakers’ Company with an instrument to ‘discover the houre of the day at sea and several other useful mathematical matters’ but to no avail. The current lot is designed to sound the hours and quarters on two bells only on demand. This form of quarter repeat mechanism is thought to have been devised for timepieces destined for night-time use in the bedroom; whilst striking clocks with quarter repeat facility were generally intended to be utilised downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. As a consequence silent-pull quarter repeating timepieces are rarer as the original owner would have to be very wealthy indeed to afford a timepiece reserved exclusively for use in the bed chamber. The design of the repeat mechanism used in the current lot is very closely related to the system used by Joseph Knibb as described and illustrated in Allix, Charles and Harvey, Laurence HOBSON’S CHOICE pages 36-7. The reasoning behind the division of the outer track to thirty second intervals and the more confusing double 0-60 annotation is unknown, however the overall compact proportions and fine detailing such as the engraved border to the dial suggests that the current lot was supplied to a particularly discerning client from one of the best connected and enigmatic makers of the period.
