A rare French petit sonnerie striking carriage clock with two-plane `chaffcutter` escapement and push-button repeat Paul Garnier, Paris, circa 1840 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane `chaffcutter` escapement and three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and striking the hours and quarters on a pair of graduated bells mounted to the backplate signed PAUL GARNIER, H`LR DU ROI PARIS towards upper left hand corner and numbered 1183 to centre, the rectangular engine-turned silvered brass Roman numeral dial with radial design to centre within chapter ring and `watered-silk` infill incorporating vacant signature plaque to lower margin and with Breguet style blued steel moon hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded case with hinged slender baton handle above repeat button mounted within the top glass panel and the rear sliding upwards for winding, on cavetto moulded skirt base with inset rounded angles, (strike train with faults), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle; with original leather covered outer travelling case. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS as born 1801 and receiving Silver Medals in the Paris Exhibitions of 1827, 34, and 39; and gold medals in 1844 and 49. He worked from various addresses at Rue Taitbout, Paris and died in 1869 leaving the business to his son of the same name who was still exhibiting carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. Paul Garnier is generally credited for being the first maker to essentially standardise the `petit pendule portative` which was in effect to become the prototype for the archetypal French carriage clock. The current lot with its `chaffcutter` escapement, engine turned `watered-silk` dial and squat one-piece case with wooden block insert to underside can be firmly identified as a `Series I` carriage clock by Garnier as identified by Allix (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS pages 56-7). This clock is rare in that it was made with petit-sonnerie striking and has particularly early use of repeat button set into the top glass of the case.
Lot 19
An English gilt brass constant force waterwheel timepiece Peter Bonnert, Maidstone, dated 1971 The six pillar movement with pierced tapered plates, three wheel train with six-spoke wheel crossings and deadbeat escapement driven by a large wheel with compartments to rim to take ball bearings fed every minute from above by a conveyer belt driven by a separate four pillar single fusee movement with dual spring barrels housed in the base, the ball bearings being subsequently released when at four o`clock position and directed via channels to be picked-up by scoops applied to the multi-link conveyor belt with motion governed by trip release mechanism behind the `waterwheel`, the conveyor support engraved Peter Bonnert, Maidstone, 1971, the 7.25 inch open-centred circular dial plate with engraved Roman numerals and blued steel fleur-de-lys pattern hands, on rectangular figured walnut veneered plinth with winding hole to front and brass-lined canted skirt with brass squab feet, (cover lacking), 44cm (17.5ins) high. Peter Bonnert is a highly respected contemporary horologist who became a fellow of the British Horological Institute in 1968 and was awarded `The Master`s Medal` by the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers` for his exemplary services to horology in 2010. Peter Bonnert is perhaps best known as illustrator of the landmark publication CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development with text by Charles Allix, first published in 1974. The current lot is based upon a design exhibited at the `Exposition Universelle` of 1900 which was illustrated by Planchon in La Revue Chronometrique published in October of that year. Related timepieces are illustrated and discussed in Roberts, Derek Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks pages 72-3.
Lot 20
A French patinated spelter and gilt brass mounted Belge noir marble figural mystery clock Guilmet, Paris, late 19th century The two train countwheel bell striking movement with Guilmet`s crank and stirrup escapement connected via fixed crutch passing through the movement plates to a cylindrical steel post resting on pin pivot and carrying the moulded plinth for the figure surmount, the backplate stamped with oval GLT, BREVETTE, S.G.D.G. trademark and numbered 607, the 4 inch gilt on black marble circular Roman numeral dial with gilt spade hands within egg-and-dart cast hinged bevel-glazed bezel, the rectangular plinth-form case with `bronze` patinated spelter figural surmount cast as a standing Classical female holding aloft in her left hand the spring suspension for the glass inset bob pendulum above cavetto moulded top and stylised lions mask ring side handles, the front with incised gilt scroll decorated infill around dial, on cavetto moulded skirt base with conforming decoration and generous scroll cast lions paw feet to front, 63cm (24.75ins) high. Andre Romain Guilmot was amongst a number of French clockmakers, including Robert Houdin, who responded to the nineteenth century Parisian passion for magic and conjuring by designing a clock which was inherently mysterious in nature. The mechanism which he devised was designed to give the impression that the pendulum, held by the figural surmount, appeared to oscillate without and impulse. This was achieved by standing the figure on a post which was pivoted on a pinpoint at the base, this allowed the figure itself to oscillate side to side imperceptibly. With this post connected to the specially designed escapement the impulse for the pendulum is ingeniously transferred through the figure. Guilmet was granted Patent for his invention in 1867, which was modified on 1872. The apparent popularity for his design of `Pendule a marche mysterieuse` can in part be due to the showing of such clocks at the various international exhibitions held in Paris and elsewhere throughout the latter quarter of the 19th century.
Lot 21
