Lot 98

A fine and very rare early 19th century English mahogany eight-day marine chronometer with unique sprung bowl designJames Hatton, London, number 402 The case:flame-veneered mahogany two-part case with sprung lid activated by a brass button to the front and two small leaf springs below, the base section with shaped vacant brass escutcheon plate and drop handles, baize lined. Opening to reveal the gimbal ring mounted at opposite corners on substantial brass brackets, with securing lock to the top right hand corner, the ring set to it's inner face with a pair of nickel-silver tapering springs mounted opposite each another at II and VIII, each approximately 20 inches in length and winding around the bowl approximately 375 degrees to terminate in a shaped foot secured to the bowl by three brass screws. The interior of the bowl scratch-numbered 402 and with shaped weight plate, the underside fitted with a sprung winding arbor cover engraved 'Wind up to the Left hand Once A Week.'The dial:4.75 inch signed and numbered silvered dial with outer minute track marked in five minute intervals enclosing the Roman hours intersected at VI by the large subsidiary running seconds dial marked in Arabic tens, the power-reserve sector set below XII marked 1-7, signed across the centre 'Jas. Hatton, London, 402', with blued steel hands throughout (the minute tapering, the hour of pierced spear-form). Secured via three latched dial feet to the movement. The movement:of Hatton's double frame construction and of eight day duration. The barrel, chain fusee and centre wheel set within a shaped frame united by three turned pillars screwed front and back, the barrel with set up ratchet on a substantial shaped cock over cut away sections to offer a view of the mainspring; the remainder of the train set in another smaller shaped plate united by three square-section pillars, the freesprung cut and compensated bimetallic balance with keystone-shaped weights and blued steel helical spring to an Earnshaw type detent escapement. The case 21.5cms (8.5ins) wide. Footnotes:The remarkable pair of tapering springs carry the weight of the bowl, movement, bezel and glass and offer a good deal of shock absorption against any sudden surge or prolonged movement. Another example, number 316 is in the Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris.The celebrated George Margetts (1748-1804) took James Hatton (c.1776-c.1824) as an apprentice. Hatton was no run-of-the-mill pupil the high level of his work, and his innovative approach to design, can be seen in products he jointly signed with Margetts, as well as those finished under his own name. It was almost certainly James Hatton who in about 1800 introduced the double frame construction for his eight day timekeepers. Although Margetts was said to have made improvements to the lever escapement at this time, it is far more likely it was also work done in his name by James Hatton. Hatton was a great asset to Margett's business, principally in the production of watches and pocket chronometers. From 1810 to 1824 he had premises at 4 St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill, London. James Hatton worked from St Michael's Alley, Cornhill from 1799 to 1812. A comprehensive account of his life and work can be found in Betts, J. (2017) Marine Chronometers at Greenwich.

Running, striking and repeating. 19cms (7.5ins) high.Footnotes:Adolphe Nicole established his watchmaking business in London in 1837 and went on to play a central role in 19th century horology; he invented two types of Constant Force Escapement as well as a new split seconds hand for timing two events simultaneously on a watch. In 1844 he patented a keyless winding system, the manufacturing rights later passing to Dent to whom he supplied many fine movements. When Charles Frodsham died in 1871, Nielsen became a director of Charles Frodsham & Co. Ltd. In 1876 he took his son-in-law Emile Nielsen into partnership and within four years they were established in Soho Square, London. Such was the acclaim of the workshop, The Horological Journal visited and published an article in June 1889. The clocks and watches surviving today often feature the most complex functions including their legendary tourbillons, in particular the series of remarkable silver hump-back travel clocks made just before the First War. Like the current lot, these feature the twin up-and-down power reserve subsidiaries on the main dial. Comparative literature:Allix & Bonnert (1984) Carriage Clocks, Their history and Development.

Lot 58

Cartier. An early, rare and large platinum manual wind rectangular wristwatchModel: Grande Tank CintréeDate: Circa 1930Movement: 19-jewel manual wind, adjusted to 8 positionsDial: Cream, black Roman numerals, black inner minute track, blued steel handsCase: Brushed and polished curved rectangular, back secured by 4 screws, cabochon set crown, No.23259, 27787, 05400, 8619Strap/Bracelet: Black leatherBuckle/Clasp: 18K rose gold folding clasp, stamped 0423Signed: Dial signed Cartier, movement signed European Watch & Clock CoSize: 23mm x 47mmFootnotes:The Tank Cintrée entered into the Cartier Tank family in 1921 back when Cartier were at the early stages of wristwatch design. At this time there were no rules and the norm of a circular dial was not entrenched. Cartier investigated and experimented with many versions based on the Tank which they already knew was popular. The Tank Cintrée was an extreme example of these investigations and although it seems acceptable now, the long rectangular shape and the curved case back conforming to the wrist was seen as outlandish at the time. It was therefore made in just a small quantity but remains one of the best known designs from the founding years of wristwatch making.Platinum was a fairly new material being incorporated into wristwatch design offering a bright silver colour without being susceptible to tarnish like silver or dulling in colour like the white gold available at the time. It makes it an enduring zeitgeist of the period that looks equally as stunning and eye catching today as it was when it was first introduced.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
