Lot 1177

Extremely rare and early Synchronome Co. Shortt free pendulum astronomical regulator slave clock previously owned by Admiral Fountaine, the clock, No 24, is of the type used with the free pendulum system, comprising the regulator slave clock, in original 54" high mahogany case,*Formerly supplied to and owned by Admiral Fountaine, and sold with three copies of Electrical Timekeeping annotated by Frank Hope-Jones The astronomical slave clock with invar pendulum and steel bob has a 10" engraved silvered dial signed Synchronome Patent No.187814, with outer minutes ring and inset seconds and twelve hours dials, the original rectangular mahogany case has bevelled glazed trunk door, moulded cornice and leaf carved spandrels around the dial, the NRA plate is stamped 24 Within the case is the complete movement, together with the appropriate panel for connection to the free pendulum, slave and slave dial; the separate accompanying 10" regulator-style dial in 15" round moulded mahogany case is signed Synchronome, London, and also with outer minutes ring enclosing seconds and hours dialsProvenance: The clock offered for sale was first acquired via Sotheby's in April 1972, the lot having been listed as "A Synchronome seconds indicating half minute impulse electric master clock, complete with electrically powered slave dial indicating seconds, hours and minutes, the movement with hit and miss synchroniser indicating that the clock was once a slave to a free pendulum, the invar pendulum, with iron bob, in mahogany wall case, 4'6" high".Sotheby's have reconfirmed to the current vendor that the items were from the estate of Admiral Fountaine (Admiral Fountaine's master clock and vacuum cylinder were sold at the April 1972 sale to a buyer acting on behalf of the Rockford Time Museum, USA, until being sold on closure of the Museum at a Sotheby's sale in the early 2000s)-These complex precision electromechanical pendulum clocks by William Hamilton Shortt in collaboration with Frank Hope Jones were the most accurate pendulum clocks ever produced and became the highest standard for timekeeping between the 1920’s and 1940’s; after which mechanical clocks were superseded by quartz time standards.Admiral C.A. Fountaine R.N. was supplied by the Synchronome Company with several of these astronomical clocks after attending a lecture by Frank Hope-Jones at the Royal Society of Arts. The clocks were installed in the basement of his home, Narford Hall, Norfolk, England and their rates carefully recorded. Admiral Fountaine’s observations were so precise that he identified and recorded a small six-monthly digression and insisted that it was due to nutation (a periodic variation in the precession of the equinoxes caused by the moon’s gravitational pull). This was subsequently confirmed and in 1927 Greenwich announced that they would in future apply the nutation figures as a corrective for their clocks. The clocks were then used worldwide in astronomical observatories, naval observatories, in scientific research, and a primary standard for national time dissemination services. The Shortt Synchronome was the first clock to be a more accurate time keeper than the earth itself; it was used in 1926 by Admiral Fountaine to detect tiny seasonal changes in the earth’s rotation rate. Shortt clocks achieved an accuracy of around 1 second per year, although a recent measurement indicated that they were even more accurate. About 100 were produced between 1922 and 1956.*Admiral Fountaine’s observations with his use of astronomical regulators were so precise that Greenwich Observatory accepted in in 1927 that the clocks were more accurate than the earth’s timekeeping; This was acknowledged also by Hope Jones in the accompanying books. The historical significance of the Clock was also recognised by George Daniels who tried to buy it, ‘for use in my workshop and to be available for examination by students’. There are two letters accompanying the lot from George Daniels that refer and another from Sotheby’s that relates to the Synchronome slave clock which is being sold as lot 1178.  There are images of all these letters attached to the lot in the online catalogues. Three historical copies of Electrical Timekeeping by Frank Hope Jones are included with the items offered for sale:A first edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, including an original  sketch cartoon by Hope-Jones sent in Dec 1935 with his hand written message “My latest free pendulum with best wishes for a Happy Christmas from your faithful slave who gives the impulse & synchronises himself with your kindly thoughts”, signed Hope Jones. The copy is also marked up and annotated throughout in his hand and with additional texts etc eg for additional chapter prepared for his publication of a second edition of the book.A second edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, inscribed by the author to his friend Major Cowan, and also including  his Christmas Card of 1939/40 recording that he had been bombed out and a Christmas 1943 note acknowledging that his free pendulum had been superseded by the Quartz Clock but that he had  “not relinquished the task until the time keeping possibilities of the pendulum were exhausted.”A second edition copy of Electrical Timekeeping, given to his friend Mr Fry  (mentioned in the book) and inscribed  “To A R Fry…The champion amateur from the amateur champion, the Author” and signed by Hope Jones.NOTE: THE FOLLOWING LOT 1178, A SYNCHRONOME SLAVE DIAL, WAS USED BY ADMIRAL FOUNTAINE IN CONJUCTION WITH THIS REGULATOR SLAVE CLOCK.  A LETTER TO THIS EFFECT FROM SOTHEBY’S IS ALSO SOLD WITH THIS LOT.

Having received the titles of Valet de Chambre-Horloger Ordinaire du Roi et de la Reine in 1783 and 1786, he had an extraordinary career, distinguished himself by an exceptional contribution to the progress of time measurement during his lifetime *Joseph Coteau (1745-1812) dials are extremely rare and sometimes secretly inscribed on the reverse. In addition to their scarcity and their supreme quality, his dials and enamel plaques only accompany the most complex quality mechanisms. Examples of his work can be found in a number of European museums in Paris and London, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and Wallis Collection
