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.
