Saint Martin is recorded in Loomes, Brian, Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Paris circa 1710. The current lot employs a ‘silent pull’ quarter repeat mechanism which is designed to sound the hours and quarters only on demand (does not automatically strike during normal operation). This form of repeat mechanism is thought to have been devised for use in the bedchamber, hence would have been supplied to an extremely wealthy client who could afford such a luxury. English ‘Silent pull’ quarter repeating table clocks are scarce but do turn up from time to time, French examples are generally rarer hence are much more difficult to find.
