A fine and large (semi giant) Carriage clock with push repeat by Richard & Co of Paris. The clock is substantial and has an unusual case design of extraordinary quality. The engraved dial mask is very finely engraved (see close up pictures), the barley twist columns with Corinthian capitals are beautifully detailed, the heavy gauge cast brass construction gilded with thick bevelled 'white' glass panels to each side. The dial is perfect and free of chips and hairlines. The movement is stamped with Richard & Co and is numbered. The original and extremely fine, silvered platform and escapement is large and has a compensated balance wheel. The hourly gong strike is mellow and has the one strike for the half hour. Interestingly (for horologists) this clock features a clever Hour wheel design which stops the hours from getting muddled if the clock took a 'bump' on your journey.

A fine, quarter chiming or 'petite sonnerie' carriage clock by 'Drocourt' for J.W.Benson.
The fine gilded gorge case is of slightly smaller than average size. The dial is perfect and free of any chips or hairlines. The movement strikes the hours and quarters with the addition of push repeat. The clock has the Drocourt stamp on the back plate and the Drocourt Oval on the reverse of the dial. Alfred and Pierre Drocourt were both superb clockmakers, they had a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Ailermont, which was regarded as the most important town for carriage clock manufacturing. The majority of their clocks would go to their Paris premises and dispersed amongst the world's top retailers of that time. They exhibited at the major exhibitions winning a bronze medal at Paris 1867, the Silver at Paris 1878 and the gold at Paris in 1889. The son, Alfred, succeeded his father Pierre sometime in the 1870's. The clock is numbered 18672 which puts the date to circa 1880-90. To find a 'petite sonnerie' by J.W.Benson and Drocourt in this condition is quite rare.  A truly wonderful clock with a very nice tone to the gongs.  Supplied with an original Morroco leather covered case. Please note we have two near identical J.W.Benson petite Sonnerie's !

A particularly elegant example of a giant carriage clock, made by Drocourt and retailed through J.W. Benson circa 1900. It is rare to come across a giant carriage of such fine quality, and this timepiece is in excellent condition with a beautiful gilt finish. The original enamelled dial is signed J.W. Benson, Ludgate Hill, London, with large Roman numerals and outer minutes of typical Drocourt style. The movement is stamped DROCOURT, hidden between the plates and the Oval logo to the rear. As with all of our clocks, it has been cleaned and restored, and the exceptional condition of the movement can be seen through the bevelled glass panels, along with the beautiful large top quality platform escapement, J.W. Benson had a thriving business with Alfred Drocourt throughout the late Victorian period and into the Edwardian period, and this clock is one of the best examples we have seen from this partnership. Interestingly the springs on this clock are signed A.D 12/02, the signing of clock springs was usually carried out by the person who assembled it. Alfred Drocourt would have enjoyed assembling this ‘Giant’ in 1902!

A twist on the traditional dial clock. This timepiece was made by Zenith (the famous Swiss Watch manufacturer) and features a superb quality Swiss, 18 day movement with a center winding position and domed dial made from what we think is Oak but could be Beech! It's a hard to tell.  This example is roughly 13" size and has the addition of a 24hr dial within the 12hr chapter ring.  Mainly Heals retailed these clocks (timepieces) from the 1930's to 1960's and they have become quite collectable in recent years. With brass numerals and hands and supplied with a winding key.

This is the 'First Omega in Space' Limited Edition of the classic early Speedmaster.  It was produced to commemorate the 50 years from when Wally Shirra, in 1962 wore the 'first' Omega Speedmaster in space during the Sigma 7 mission as he navigated around our planet. It was his very suggestion that NASA supplied astronauts with chronographs for further space missions and that started with the Gemini program.  These are no longer available (a limited edition) and  are becoming a modern classic.  This model also has the domed sapphire crystal which is a bonus for every day wearing. The dial features a lot of the early style with raised logo and longer hour indices.  A great watch with all boxes, cards, outer boxes and hang tag. this was made in 2020 and reference number 311.32.40.00.01.001 measuring almost 40mm across the width as per original reference.

A fine and small William Comyns timepiece. The beautiful 'mock' tortoise shell case with bun feet and shaped handle gives the clock a timeless design. The handle, hinge, bun feet and bezel are all solid silver and 9ct gold plated. The clock retains the original outer leather covered case which is in good but slightly distressed condition. This has obviously led to the little timepiece being protected and having survived in remarkable condition.

This is an exceptionally well preserved solid silver timepiece retains its outer leather covered protective travel case.  We sell a lot of clocks and have done for over 43 years, yet we have not seen this design before, its very 'clean' design and simple geometric pattern are pleasing. It was retailed by Hardy Bros of the prestigious Old Burlington Street in Mayfair, London, we estimate at around 1920-30. Further research of the hallmarks and stamps to be exact though. The case has a small recess for the key (which is original) and leather covered with two hinged doors, silk lined and printed with the retailers name.

A fine Rosewood mantel clock by the well know makers Paul Garnier and Henry Marc. It’s difficult to explain why this clock is so rare, but we will try. Paul Garnier invented a type of escapement for his clocks which allowed the clocks to be pendulum free. This escapement is called the Chaff Cutter, two plane escapement and was in use on most of the early carriage clocks he made. There are very few clocks which have survived with the Chaff Cutter intact. What’s lovely about this particular clock is the small viewing glass to the top, essentially showing off his invention. The 'blanc roulant' was supplied to P.G. by Henry Marc. A blanc roulant is a movement sold to a clockmaker to finish with his or her escapement of choice. The clock is quite sall and constructed of Rosewood with fine boxwood inlays and marquetry work. The dial is a mellowed gold colour and the hands are the original and quite unique. A very rare and attractive clock. Quite possibly 1830 to 1850.

Here we have a beautiful example of an original Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m divers watch. This watch is powered by Omega's extremely reliable co-axial 2500 automatic movement which has earned this watch its title of being a officially certified chronometer. The simple yet elegant design of this watch makes it perfect to wear every day comfortably. The timeless design, black/silver colouring means this will never be out of style and will become a future classic. This watch has just undergone a very light polish to sharpen up the case and is currently sitting on a new black silicon diving strap but also comes with the original Omega leather strap and omega deployment buckle. Pictogram card, warranty card and chronometer certificate cards all sold with watch.

Here we have a beautiful 1960's Omega Constellation with a absolutely stunning, rose gold 564 calibre automatic movment that has just been completely stripped down and serviced. The vintage cream dial adds a lot of character to the watch with only slight staining near the date window, but still shines beautifully when in the light. The 564 automatic movement gained the Omega Constellation its title of being an offically certifed chronometer after thorough testing and examination of its extremely accurate and precise time keeping capability. The constellation is one of Omega's oldest collections and also one of the most collectable, this watch is a prime example of a vintage Omega that still looks stylish and classic on the wrist, to this day.

Here we have the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m that has the beautiful co-axial, automatic movement paired with its scratch-resistant sapphire glass and ceramic black dial. Chronograph function makes for the perfect divers watch. The unidirectional dark grey cermaic bezel is mounted on a 45.5mm stainless steel case with the helium escape valve function. This watch also comes with a clear case back showing the incredible Omega Master Chronometer calibre 9900 movement, for this watch to achieve this chronometer status it passed 8 tests set by The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. On the dial you will see a small seconds sub-dial along with 60-minute and 12 hour counters to insure perfect readings of elpased time. This watch will come with a offical Omega wooden box along with the manual and papers.

A very attractive quarter striking mantel clock with ormolu decorations on a very well figured Burr Walnut case. The full brass dial shows gilded Spandrels and the silvered Chapter ring. A Fleur de lys Hour hand, matted dial center and bevelled silvered 'sight'. If you know your German clocks, you will know that Lenzkirch Clockmakers were based in Lenzkirch the Municipality in the German Black Forest and are regarded as the very best quality. Take a scroll through the pictures to see how wonderful this clock is. It has quarter striking on two soft gongs. The clock will run for a week on wind.

Charles Edward Viner was working in Clerkenwell, London from the 1780's until 1879 and this twin fusee (chain), six pillar clock with maintaining power, quarter striking and strike-silent, is a rare example of his exquisite clock making.  The Architectural pediment is removable (quite unique) and allows for careful regulation and viewing of the rather special, jeweled lever escapement. The case is constructed of Walnut and has fluted columns at all four corners. The dial quite possibly from the same workshops as Thomas Cole's, beautifully engraved and gilded. Rear winding, rear hand set and strike silent lever, with a sub seconds dial below the Twelve. The dimensions of this clock can be seen below, it is quite small, although it does have a 'large' sound as the gongs are soft and deep. This clock has just arrived and will be undergoing a full restoration. Please message us to reserve.

You don't often see these little miniature carriage timepieces with their original case and original key. This one has both and a fine example it is. The case has much more detail than the average and the leather covered outer case has the little latches to secure the protective lid. The clock has been thoroughly serviced and overhauled and we also striped the case down, polished and professionally lacquered. The dial is immaculate, and the hands are original too. A very small and great example for the collector or perhaps a special occasion or birthday! Only 8cms tall.

A very good example of the classic dive watch. The Seamaster 300 by Omega became a true 'tool' watch of the Special forces, the Royal Navy, Deep sea workers and civilians alike. The large triangle at 12 on these 66 models are quite rare and in our opinion the non date, large triangle, gilt is the best combination. The original bakelite bezel is not perfect but as you would expect on these 50+year watches. The case is also unpolished with 'dings' here and there but 100% original, even the crystal is the original with small logo to the center. The dial had very poorly applied Radium lume which was common with these and we had a lume expert apply in the correct way 'puffy' and use 'fast fade' to help with the original look. The watch also comes with the Extract from the Archives of Omega showing it was sold in the UK on October 3, 1966, these are important to have with the 60's Seamasters and cost around £100!  It will be supplied with a NATO strap in Cream and black stripe which we feel works well with it and also a grey military style NATO as well as the original S/Steel Omega strap.  If you are looking for a daily wearer, a watch that already has patina and character and not a watch to hide away in a safe, this might just be the perfect watch!

This small 'bracket' or mantel clock has a substantial twin ‘fusee’ movement and is constructed of solid Cuban mahogany with brass inlays.

The clock has an hourly strike on a very soft gong and has a half hour strike with just one blow of the gong for the half hour which is quite unusual.

This small 'dial' or 'school' clock as they a fondly known, has a ten-inch dial signed by the clockmaker Tree of 121 Great Dover Street, London. The clock has undergone a complete 'strip down' clean, service and rebushing etc (see pictures) and carries our 24 month guarantee. The original dial has been carefully restored and the Mahogany case has been cleaned, waxed. The curved lower door is held with a lock and key, the side door is held with a simple latch. The convex glass over dial helps reduce reflections. There are three clockmakers working in London under the name of Tree. Charles 1881, James 1851-81 and Alfred 1869. It is difficult to be exact with such close dating and they are most likely all related, we would take an educated guess at James Tree as he worked for the longest period known and this clock dates to around 1880, but of course it could be Charles. The clock or timepiece is 'Fusee' and has a substantial and high quality movement with heavy lead filled, brass faced pendulum bob. A great little clock !
We used Watch and Clockmakers of the world Vol2 for the research.

They really do not come along very often, especially with a full brass dial with arch and Strike - silent function. The clock has just been fully overhauled.

Daniel Catlin of Lynn was working around the late 18th Century and this clock was most likely made around 1780.
