Alexis established the firm in 1832 and retired in 1876, whereupon his son took over and expanded the business. Lucien was particularly influenced by the enamel art of Japan and the revival of interest in Gothic and Renaissance art so popular in the last quarter of the 19th century.This particular model of clock - given the name Angelus - was first exhibited in ivory with gold and silver mounts at the 1878 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The 'AXF' lozenge mark stamped on the underside of this lot was not used by Falize after he took Bapst, former French crown jeweller, as a partner in 1880, giving a timeline of possible production of this piece of 1878-1880.

Also including copies of Chronometer Makers of the World by Tony Mercer, Dictionnaire Professionnel Illustre de L'Horlogerie: Français, Allemand, Anglais, Espagnol by G. A. Berner, Mercer Chronometers: History, Maintenance & Repair by Tony Mercer, and Mercer Chronometers by Tony Mercer. 21cms (8ins) wideFootnotes:The paperwork associated with this lot comprises of an extensive, handwritten description of care of the chronometer, as well as an Admiralty service record from Greenwich Observatory. The record states that the chronometer was initially used in Kilindiri (likely an Admiralty base in Sri Lanka) from 1943-1945, before being returned to T. Mercer, presumably for cleaning and any repairs, at a cost of £1 15s. In 1947 the chronometer was installed on the RFA 'Black Ranger' which largely stayed around Devon and Cornwall during this time, with a voyage to Trinidad noted. The ship also managed to rescue a Greek steamer which was cast adrift due to technical issues. The incident made the headlines, but it was shortly after this, in 1951, that the chronometer was returned to Mercer for servicing (at a cost this time of £4 14s) before being installed on the newly built 'RFA Eddyrock'. This ship, and the chronometer with it, spent most of its career around Singapore. Interestingly, the record states that the chronometer was in Singapore in 1957, before being serviced by Graves Antiques, at a service cost of £95. The 'RFA Eddyrock' was bought by a Singaporean company in 1967, so it is reasonable to suggest that the chronometer remained on board the ship through the entirety of 'RFA Eddyrock's' British career. The record states that the chronometer was 'Taken Off Charge' in 1970, though it is not specified what happened to it when it was taken off charge.https://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-black-rangerhttps://www.historicalrfa.org/rfa-eddyrock-ship-informationhttps://ww2db.com/country/ceylonhttps://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C527723This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the UK, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
