A fine gilt brass giant carriage timepiece with original mahogany outer... A fine gilt brass giant carriage timepiece with original mahogany outer travelling case Arnold and Dent, London, circa 1830 The four pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power and fitted with large gilt platform underslung English lever escapement with split bimetallic balance applied with cylindrical compensating weights, the backplate with Slow/Fast regulation to the rear edge of the platform table above winding square and knurled knob labelled Set Hands over signature Arnold & Dent, LONDON to lower centre, the 3 inch circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with repeat signature ARNOLD & DENT, LONDON to centre and blued steel moon hands set within rectangular gilt mask deeply chased and engraved with foliate scrolls and canted bezel surround, the substantial bevel-glazed gilt brass case with hinged double baluster turned handle and glazed escapement aperture to the canted edge sunken 'well top' within generous cavetto moulded outer cornice over rounded corner uprights and conforming cavetto moulded skirt base fitted with rounded squab feet, the rear glass sliding downwards to allow access for winding and setting and secured with a retaining clasp to baseplate, 19cm (7.5ins) high excluding handle; with original padded baize-lined mahogany outer travelling box with remnants of leather strap handle, 23.5cm (9.25ins) high overall. Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. John Roger Arnold was born in 1769, the son of the famous watch and chronometer maker John Arnold. He initially trained under his father and then Abraham Louis Breguet before, in 1787, going into partnership with his father. The firm of Arnold and Son subsequently became principal suppliers of early marine chronometers to the Royal Navy and lasted until the death of John Arnold senior in 1799. John Roger Arnold continued the business, in 1817 he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company and in 1821 he was credited with the invention of the 'U' shaped compensated chronometer balance. In 1830 Arnold took Edward John Dent into partnership (after the unfortunate demise of his adopted son and likely successor); the partnership lasted ten years before being dissolved leaving Arnold to work alone until his death in 1843. The current lot can be directly compared to another example by Arnold and Dent (numbered 303) illustrated and discussed in Staeger, Hans 100 Years of Precision Timekeepers from John Arnold to Arnold & Frodsham, 1763-1862 , Pages 685-8. Staeger suggests that number 303 is possibly the earliest surviving carriage clock by Arnold and Dent, however it is probably appropriate to suggest that the current lot, being unnumbered, could be earlier. The distinctive sunken 'well top' design of the case is a form favoured by Dent which can also be seen on smaller models; a related case (containing Dent number 1302) is illustrated in Allix Charles and Bonnert, Peter Carriage Clocks, Their history and development on page 256, plate IX/22. The original mahogany outer travelling box is particularly noteworthy being a rare survivor in relatively good original condition.

A fine William III gilt brass verge pocket watch movement Thomas Tompion, London, number 2893 circa 1699  The gilt full plate single fusee verge movement  with four Egyptian pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and sprung three-arm steel balance with reeded rim, the backplate with fine scroll-bordered symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with part of the circumference recessed to reveal the decorated balance rim opposite the conforming pierced broad foot flanked by silvered regulation disc with adjacent applied scroll pierced infill opposing signature   T. Tompion, LONDON   and indistinct engraved serial number  2893,   the pillar-plate stamped with repeat serial number behind the hour wheel, fitted with pierced brass dial-plate with fine herringbone engraved border, the pillar-plate 39mm (1.5ins) diameter.  Thomas Tompion has often been referred to as the úther of English clock and watchmaking'. When considering the legacy of his work and influence on subsequent generations, such a compliment is justly deserved.  Born in Ickwell, Suffolk in 1639 Thomas Tompion appears to have developed an affinity for metalworking from his father, also named Thomas, who worked as a blacksmith. By 1670 Tompion had moved to London and was working in the clock and watchmaking trade. Although there is no record of his apprenticeship or whether he received any formal training prior to moving to London, he quickly became established and obtained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in late 1671.  His early clocks demonstrate a close working relationship with the Fromanteel, East and Knibb workshops. Around this time Tompion became friendly with eminent mathematicians and scientists such as Robert Hooke and Jonas Moore - perhaps the most progressive and inventive minds of the day. Such associations lead to Royal commissions, firstly from Charles II for whom Tompion is known to have made one of the earliest balance-spring watches in 1676 and later William III who ordered numerous clocks to furnish his various palaces throughout his reign.  As well as being an extremely talented artisan Tompion was also commercially minded, cleverly introducing serial numbering for his watches and clocks from around 1681/2. This, as well as maintaining a high degree of refinement in both the design and construction of his clocks and watches, ensured the highest level of exclusivity for clients purchasing from him.   In around 1701 Thomas Tompion took a former apprentice, Edward Banger, into partnership. Banger was originally apprenticed to Thomas Ashby in 1687 but was transferred over to Tompion and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1695. He was clearly a talented maker (when considering the few examples signed by Banger alone) however a serious problem between him and his former master caused the partnership to come to an abrupt end in 1707-8 for reasons unknown. On Banger's departure Tompion reverted to working alone until he found confidence in George Graham who had been engaged as a journeyman for Tompion since 1696. Graham's character had already been given the seal of approval by Tompion who allowed him to marry his niece, Elizabeth, in 1704; however it still would be a few years before Tompion would take Graham into partnership which he eventually did in 1711. Thomas Tompion died in November 1713 leaving the business to George Graham who maintained the same exacting standards and became famous in his own right with notable achievements including the development of the deadbeat escapement for pendulum clocks and the cylinder escapement for watches.  The current lot is one of around two hundred and ninety examples signed by Tompion alone from circa four hundred known survi ... [Please contact Auctioneer for full lot description]

A fine William III silver pair-cased verge pocket watch Daniel Quare, London A fine William III silver pair-cased verge pocket watch Daniel Quare, London, circa 1695 The gilt full plate single fusee verge movement with four Egyptian pillars incorporating foliate-pierced galleries 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 conforming pierced broad foot flanked by silvered regulation disc with adjacent applied scroll pierced infill opposing signature Quare, London , the pillar-plate fitted with circular silver champleve dial with scroll-chased signature cartouches engraved Quare, London to the matted centre within Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and Arabic cartouche five minute numerals to outer track, with later blued steel beetle and poker hands and in plain silver inner case with suspension post and ring at twelve o'clock, with an outer case decorated with pique work scroll designs into leather covered brass within moulded silvered brass hinge plates and bezel-edge, the dial 41mm diameter; the inner case 48mm diameter; the outer case 55mm diameter. Daniel Quare is an important maker who is recorded on Loomes, Brian The Clockmakers of Great Britain 1286-1700 as born in Somerset circa 1647/8; by 1671 he had moved to London as he was admitted as a Free Brother to the Clockmakers' Company in April of that year. Quare initially worked in St. Martin's Le Grand, London (where he married in 1776) later moving to Allhallows, Lombard Street in 1681, before finally relocating to Exchange Alley where he is believed to have taken-on the former premises of Robert Seignior in around 1686. Quare was selected as a member of the Court of Assistants in 1698 later becoming Master in 1708. In 1709 he is believed to have taken his former apprentice, Stephen Horseman, into partnership which presumably lasted until Quare's death in 1724. Daniel Quare was a fine and inventive maker who supplied clocks and barometers to significant European Royal and aristocratic clients. As a committed Quaker he refused to sign the Oath of Allegiance in 1697, however as a much respected maker, he was still able to discreetly supply the court of William III. In around 1680 Quare made repeating watches to his own design which eventually lead him to dispute a conflicting patent filed by Edward Barlow in 1686; the resulting exchange two years to resolve.
