A lacquered brass four-glass cased electromagnetic balance mantel timepiece Eureka Clock Company Limited, early 20th century The movement with large diameter sprung split bimetallic balance applied with timing weights to circumference and with transverse electromagnetic impulse coil to centre oscillating against a sprung detent contact breaker and cam operating a lever and ratchet shunt for the motionwork, the front with visible ball bearing pivot over regulation adjustment scale inscribed No. 7414, PATENT, No. 14614, 1906 , the 4.25 inch convex cream enamel Arabic numeral dial with steel moon hands and signed EUREKA CLOCK Co. LTD., LONDON to centre within cast gilt brass bezel, the whole supported on a shaped steel plate applied with finials and squat brass supports within the bevel glazed brass case with triangular pediment applied with gilt vase and griffin cast mount to tympanum over fluted frieze and hinged door flanked by channel moulded corner uprights, on substantial stepped skirt base enclosing battery compartment and incorporating squat bracket feet, 38cm (15ins) high. The Eureka mantel timepiece was invented by Timothy Bernard Powers of New York shortly after 1900 and Patented in 1906. It is thought that around 10,000 were made by the Eureka Clock Company, London before their demise in 1914. The design of the balance is such that a constant voltage (of 1.5 volts) is required to ensure consistency in the amplitude of oscillation. Unfortunately early 20th century battery technology struggled to deliver a suitably stable output hence such timepieces acquired a reputation for poor timekeeping. Nowadays, once correctly set-up, good timekeeping can be achieved through use of modern cells which provide a much more consistent voltage output. Provenance: The collection of the late Ronnie Kirkwood and George Dixon.
