Lot 17
Congreve clock (20th century), replica of the one kept in the British Museum, London (1808).In glass and wood urn.Measurements: 40 x 34 x 34 cm.The Congreve ball clock was invented by the artillery engineer William Congreve in 1808. Also known as Congreve's Rolling Ball Clock or Oscillating Trajectory Rolling Ball Clock, it is a type of clock that uses a ball that rolls along a zigzag track instead of a pendulum to regulate the time. The ball takes between 15 seconds and a minute to run along the zigzag track, where it triggers the escapement which in turn reverses the tilt of the tray and at the same time causes the hands of the clock to move forward. Thus, the angle of the plate is reversed and the hands of the watch advance between one and four times per minute. In versions of the watch with a dial for indicating the seconds, the second hand jumps forward 15 or 30 seconds at each oscillation, depending on the length of the track.
