Lot 115

A George II gilt brass verge pocket watch movement with cylinder escapement Delander, London, second quarter of the 18th century The gilt full plate single fusee verge movement with four square baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, cylinder escapement, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical foliate scroll pierced balance cock with diamond endstone and decorated with a female mask at the junction with the with the conforming engraved foot flanked by silvered regulation disc within adjacent applied gilt engraved infill opposing signature Delander, London and serial number 1365 , with original dust cover engraved with repeat signature and serial number and now fitted with a convex white enamel Arabic numeral dial fitted with gold spade hands, the pillar plate 35mm (1.375ins) diameter. The current lot can be stylistically dated to around 1730 hence could have been made by either Daniel Delander or his son Nathaniel. Daniel Delander is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1678 and apprenticed to Charles Halstead before being transferred to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1699. He initially worked as 'servant' to Thomas Tompion from Devereux Court and later (after Tompion's death in 1713) from 'within Temple Bar', Fleet Street. He was a fine maker whose work was clearly influenced by his master but is perhaps best known for his series of particularly fine duplex escapement longcase clocks as well as long duration clocks often with refinements such as equation of time. Daniel Delander died in 1733 and was succeeded by his son Nathaniel who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1725, he was appointed Master in 1747 and died in 1762. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).

Lot 116

A Queen Anne silver pair-cased verge pocket watch with champleve dial John Smallwood, Lichfield, early 18th century The gilt full plate single fusee verge movement with four square Egyptian pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with herringbone bordered rim and female mask at the junction of the conforming pierced broad foot flanked by silvered regulation disc with adjacent applied scroll pierced infill opposing signature John Smallwood, Lichfield , fitted with circular silver champleve dial with scroll bordered panel signature cartouches engraved SMALLWOOD, LICHFIELD to the matted centre within Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and Arabic lozenge five minute numerals to outer track, with gold beetle and poker hands, the plain inner case with indistinct maker's mark only, fitted with convex glass and suspension post, the outer case similarly marked, the pillar plate 41mm (1.625ins) diameter, the outer case 57mm (2.25ins) diameter overall. Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Dr. David Torrens, subsequently acquired by the vendor from Charles Allix in the 1950's. John Smallwood is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working in Lichfield, Staffordshire by 1711 and selling-up his stock in 1741.

Richard Baker is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Tamworth 1784-95.

Lot 131

A German iron and brass hour-striking turret clock Rochlitz, Berlin, circa 1897 The movement of flatbed construction with high count lantern pinions and five-spoke crossings to the brass wheelwork, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power regulated by deadbeat escapement with seconds period wood rod pendulum with large lenticular bob, with crossed-out Arabic five minute setting dial opposing dial take-off and lifting pins for the strike locking detent, the countwheel striking train with single-arbor warning and two-arm fly with adjustable flags, on original wrought-iron stand complete with weights, crank winder, take-off and motionwork for the 31 inch circular gilt on black Roman numeral dial and mushroom-shaped bell with hammer assembly (currently mounted on a wooden frame), the flatbed frame 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep; the clock on frame 124cm (48.5ins) high by 99cm (39ins) wide by 58.5cm (23ins) deep overall. Provenance: The property of a private collector - purchased in Cologne 1997. Originally supplied for the Schlachthof, Neubrandenburg in around 1897. A file compiled by the current owner containing details relating to provenance and other relevant notes are included with the lot. The firm of C.F. Rochlitz, Berlin was founded in 1824 and specialised in making turret clocks. They were awarded many prizes at the various international exhibitions held throughout the second half of the 19th century including Gold medals at Paris 1900 and St. Louis 1904; Silver at Antwerp 1885 and Berlin 1896, and Bronze at Berlin 1879 and Amsterdam 1883. The firm continued within the ownership of successive generations of Rochlitz family until 1984 when it was acquired by Klaus Lumbeck. The current lot was supplied to the Schlachthof (slaughterhouse) at Neubrandenburg, North Eastern Germany on completion of the building in around 1897/8. During the Second World War the town was heavily bombed by the Allies resulting in the loss of many of its historic medieval buildings; the dial of the current lot bears testament to these dark hours in the form of repaired shrapnel holes. After the War the town became part of the Eastern Germany before reunification brought about much needed investment into the area. The old slaughterhouse was duly restored and converted into a large nightclub; the clock complete with its dial, stand and mushroom-shaped bell was removed at this time. The current clock is remarkably complete and of a manageable size making it the ideal candidate for installation into a clock tower or can be set-up and enjoyed as fine display piece.

Lot 86

A fine Regency gilt brass quarter-repeating duplex pocket watch movement James McCabe, London, circa 1825 The gilt full-plate single fusee four column-turned pillar movement with Harrison's maintaining power, duplex escapement and quarter-repeat mechanism with two hammers for denoting the hours and quarters positioned between the plates activated by a plunger at twelve o'clock, the backplate with removable mainspring barrel bridge, foliate scroll and grotesque mask balance cock applied with screw-set diamond endstone for the gold three arm sprung balance and signed Ja's McCabe, Royal Exchange, LONDON, No. 10253 to circumference, the white enamel Roman numeral dial with gold spade hands, with original dust cover engraved with repeat signature, the pillar plate 31.5mm (1.25ins) diameter. James McCabe senior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a 'very fine maker' who worked from Cheapside and Royal Exchange, London 1778-1811. The business was continued under his name by his sons including James junior who was apprenticed to Reid and Auld in Edinburgh, and Robert Jeremy who ran the business up until its closure in 1883. The single-wheel duplex watch escapement employed in the current lot is to a design developed in its final form by Thomas Tyrer, who patented it in 1782. The duplex escapement is a form of frictional rest escapement which when properly set-up can achieve a very good rate, however it can be temperamental due to its tight tolerances and susceptibility to shock. The duplex escapement was subsequently generally superseded by the more reliable lever escapement which was further developed and refined during the first decades of the 19th century.
