Anyone in Clocks (Bracket or Longcase)?

Bernhard J

You might like this bracket clock. It raised my attention, as soon as I noticed that it has an Ellicott pendulum (a temperature compensated device invented by Ellicott). It was up for auction and nobody wanted it, since these French marble clocks are not really sought after in these times. So it was up for grabs. And they are really heavy. When fetching it, the surprise and joy was on my side. Really near perfect condition of case, dial and movement, of course working without any fault (a lubrication service always is a good idea), the movement numbered and even a numbered pendulum, the numbers matching. This is really rare.

And even with the original winding key! This was quite a struggle though, because it was not found initially and the folks at first seemed reluctant to search for it. But with gentle pursuation it was fould, it had been misplaced with another clock (neither fitting geometrically thereto, nor in style). Here it is.
