A French tole peinte mural wall timepiece, Paul Garnier, Paris, mid 19th century The circular eight-day single train movement with anchor escapement for regulation by pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate signed PAUL GARNIER, PARIS and numbered 3369, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with repeat signature PAUL GARNIER, H’GER M’CIEN DE LA MARINE over indistinct address RUE …OUT 16 to centre, with blued steel moon hands set behind convex glazed hinged egg-and-dart cast brass bezel, the scarlet and gilt painted octagonal case in the form of a large sedan timepiece with vine leaf trail painted ogee moulded surround within gilt outer border beneath oversized brass suspension post, 37cm (14.5ins) wide. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS their history and development 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.

A George I eight-day longcase clock movement with lunar calendar, Edward Cockey, Warminster, circa 1720 The five finned pillar movement with anchor escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum and inside countwheel hour striking on a bell mounted above the plates, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the basket of flowers, Ho-Ho bird and fruiting trail bright-cut engraved and chased matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Edward, Cockey, WARMINSTER to lower edge, the angles applied with female mask and scroll cast gilt spandrels within a herringbone engraved border, the arch with rosette engraved centre incorporating circular aperture to reveal a lunar disc representation of the age of the moon and steel pointer for the fixed silvered outer scale calibrated for the lunar month and flanked by dolphin and foliate cast gilt mounts within conforming herringbone surround, 42cm (16.25 ins) high. Born in 1669, Edward Cockey senior was the son of Lewis Cockey (a bellfounder and clockmaker working in Warminster) from whom it is believed that he subsequently learned the trade. Edward was clearly a talented and well-connected clockmaker who in 1707 made an extremely complicated astronomical clock for lord Weymouth for the Great Hall at Longleat. Weymouth is thought to have subsequently commissioned Cockey to make another example as a gift to Queen Anne for her drawing room at St. James`s Palace (now in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich). Edward Cockey junior was born in 1701 and, although initially thought to have followed in his father`s footsteps, apparently chose to become a wine merchant instead. There is a record of the death of an Edward Cockey clockmaker in 1768 (which probably relates to Edward junior). The dial of the current lot, with decorated centre and lunar calendar to arch exhibits Edward Cockey`s individual and innovative approach to both function and aesthetic quality.

Provenance: The property of a gentleman. Labels pasted to the interior of the case indicate that the current clock was formerly in the collection of A.J. Colls of 125 Foxley Lane, Purley, Surrey; subsequently sold (by Order of his Executors) at Sotheby’s, New Bond Street, London, 26th March 1954 (lot 78) where it was purchased in the name of Alcock for £55 0 0. The current owner subsequently acquired the clock by private purchase on 25th June 1975 for £2,650.00. 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 1676) 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.

A fine and rare Queen Anne verge pocket watch movement, Thomas Tompion and George Graham, London, number 4650, circa 1713 The full plate gilt verge movement with four Egyptian pillars pinned through the frontplate and three-arm sprung steel balance, the backplate with fine leaf-bordered symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with female mask decoration at the base and conforming pierced broad foot flanked by silvered regulation disc with adjacent applied foliate scroll infill opposing signature Tho: Tompion, Geo: Graham, LONDON and engraved serial number 4560, the frontplate stamped with repeat serial number,the pillar plate 41mm (1.625ins) diameter, now fitted to a late 18th century circular white enamel Roman numeral sedan timepiece dial with blued steel spade hands, the case contemporary to the dial with hinged cast brass bezel fitted with convex glass within moulded cavetto surround, the rear with circular hinged brass cover and brass suspension ring fitted to upper margin, 14.5cm (5.75ins) diameter. Thomas Tompion has often been referred to as the 'Father of English clock and wachmaking'. 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 mathemeticians 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 1700 Thomas Tompion took a former apprentice, Edward Banger, into partnership however this arrangement came 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. He continued Tompion's sequential numbering for his clocks and watches and assisted John Harrison with his development of the marine timekeeper. George Graham died in 1751 and was buried next to Thomas Tompion at Westminster Abbey.The current lot belongs to a group of less than twenty examples signed by both Tompion and Graham from around four hundred known surviving watches from Tompion's first numbered series as recorded by Jeremy Evans in Evans, Carter & Wright THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS. The movement can be closely compared with number 4540 which is illustrated together with a view of the dial (providing a good indication of the how the original dial for the current lot would have appeared) on page 292. It is also perhaps interesting to note that the current lot is the last example recorded on the list to be signed with Tompion's name (albeit in partnership with Graham) suggesting that it is probably the last surviving watch made in Tompion's workshop before his death in November 1713.

Four cast brass dial clock bezels, anonymous, late 18th / early 19th century Comprising of one with visible aperture of 10.25 inches, another 10.375 inches attached to conforming mahogany cavetto moulded surround incorporating a recess for a 10 inch dial, and two others with 10.5 and 11.75 inch apertures, all with hinges intact.

A rare George II ebonised pine cased weight-driven alarm wall timepiece, Joseph Kirk, Nottingham, circa 1730 The four-wheel going train with anchor escapement incorporating offset pallets and regulated by 25 inch pendulum set between rectangular plates united by three steel square section pillars alongside the verge alarm mechanism sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell mounted above, the 6 inch square brass dial with alarm setting disc and single iron hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with minute ring to inner track and diamond lozenge half hour markers, the case with 10.25 inch square caddy moulded ebonised pine dial surround fronting a bracket with top panel between the backboard and the dial surround over removable side panels and curved bracket supports fitted to the backboard beneath incorporating inverted onion-shaped lower margin, the case 35.5cm (14ins) high. Joseph Kirk is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as Quaker born in the parish of Hardstoft, Derbyshire in 1673; by 1708 he was in Skegby, Nottinghamshire where he took in an apprentice, Robert Willis, in 1723. By 1731 Kirk had moved to Nottingham where he took in a further apprentice, Patrick Cock; he was succeeded by his daughter, Anne, who married Samuel Piggott in 1738/9 and lived until 1786. The current lot is similar in feel to the only two known examples by James Woolley of Codnor which are illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 on pages 180-81 and 238 respectively.

A mahogany Pulsynetic C-7 electromagnetic pendulum master clock, Gents, Leicester, circa 1927 The movement with green painted cast-iron bed inscribed in relief THE B-P PATENT SYSTEM over PAT NOS 24620/04 & 919/07 with integral cast wide-jaw suspension for the steel-rod seconds pendulum with cylindrical green painted bob over brass pivot for the crutch assembly incorporating shunt for the escapement and switch armature for the electromagnetic coils positioned to the left of the mechanism, the right hand side with the Hipp-toggle escapewheel pivoted between shaped brass plates, the whole applied to the case backboard along with rheostat and other electrical components within box surround with hinged arch-glazed front incorporating slave dial with brass electromagnetic coil driven mechanism, the exterior with ogee cornice over 6.5 inch circular silvered Arabic numeral dial inscribed PULSYNETIC, GENT & CO.

Gents of Leicester were founded by John Thomas Gent in 1872 and specialised in producing electric timepieces principally for semi-public and industrial use alongside fire alarm systems, telephones, transformers and related products. The firm initially operated from Faraday Road, Leicester, later (after WWII) moving to nearby Kibworth. They were bought-out by the multi-national organisation, Chloride, in 1981.The current lot appears to be a rare variant in that it incorporates an integral extension to the lower right hand of the bed casting to take an additional accessory.
