Green, London, before 1945Possibly W.G.A. King, Blackheath With Partridge, New Bond Street and illustrated in their 1993 Summer catalogueSir Emanuel Kaye, C.B.E., (d.1999) Hartley Place, Hartley WitneyAcquired by the current vendor circa 2000Francis Herbert Green (1872-1936) was a collector-dealer and author of Old English Clocks: being a collector's observations on some seventeenth century clocks (London: St. Dominic's Press, 1931). His clock gallery, which was situated above his wine and tobacco shop in the Royal Exchange, would have been well known in the trade. See Jonathan Betts, 'Two Rare Books', Antiquarian Horology, December 2003, pp. 677-9, and subsequent correspondence in the March 2004 issue, pp. 118-9.A letter in the Horological Journal, December 1963, p.383, from Mr. WGA King of Blackheath, concerning three longcase movements and dials he had purchased from a scrap merchant - “... it seems that all were dumped in his yard by a demolition lorry very many months ago and almost certainly came from a house bombed during the last war”. One of the three clocks - a month-going Tompion, is known to have belonged to F.H. Green but he is not known to have owned no.709 (though he did own no.717). It is possible that all three came from his premises in the City.The original case seems likely to have been destroyed during the blitz and the present case, though perfectly correct is style, was found for it during the 1960s.George Graham (b.1673, d.1751) was apprenticed in 1688, entered the Clockmakers' Company in 1695 and was Master in 1722. One of England's greatest makers, he was a Fellow of the Royal Society. From 1696 he was assistant to Thomas Tompion. From 1711-13 he was in partnership with Tompion and succeeded him on his death in 1713. He is buried alongside him in Westminster Abbey.R. Garnier & J. Carter, The Golden Age of English Horology: The Tom Scott Collection, Winchester 2015, includes a 'checklist' of George Graham's Watches and Clocks by Jeremy Evans and Rory McEvoy, see page 203, which details this clock in the tables.Bellmans is grateful to Jeremy Evans for his assistance with the catalogue entry.
