c.1800 English Bracket Clock with Exceptional Movement
About the Item
David Hare, London.
The beautifully proportioned mahogany broken arch case has three pads on top and numerous brass mounts including corner beads, cast frets to the front door, a hinged handle and fish scale frets. The bottom board has a door that provides access to the pendulum’s fast/slow adjustment.
The white porcelain dial has Roman numerals for the hours, Arabic five-minute marks and decorative brass hands.
The eight-day time and strike double chain fusee movement has well-cut wheelwork, a strike/silent shut-off lever out the front and is signed in an engraved cartouche ‘David Hare, London’. The unusual verge escapement has the top pivot hole for the crown wheel set into a multi-piece framework with a dovetailed slide that allows the hole to be moved laterally. The pallet arbor has a traditional pivot at the front plate but sits on anti-friction rollers to the back and has a screwed beat adjustment. There are two knurled lock screws that are positioned to either side of the pendulum rod to lock it in place or are moved to a second set of holes while the clock is running.
David Hare is listed as working in 1810.
This is an exceptional clock with a well-proportioned case, a porcelain dial and a very well-made movement that incorporates several interesting technical features.

- c.1850 French Multi-Dial Perpetual Calendar Mantle Clock with Rotating MoonLocated in Greenlawn, NYMaker: Signed M. Bornert, Strasbourg Case: The small ormolu case depicts a Gothic brickwork cathedral with a stepped base, arched windows to the sides and the Strasbourg coat of arms centered above. The columns rise to an arched gable that is surmounted by decorative pinnacles and a climbing knight. Dial: The engraved silvered dials are composed of concentric rings bordered by polished gilt bezels. The time dial has Roman numerals for the hours, shaped steel-cut hands and is signed. ‘M. Bornert, Strasbourg’. It encircles the date dial that has a steel-cut indicator hand with a gilt star and a glazed center. Below are the day and month sub-dials, both with glazed centers and star studded hands, a leap year indicator dial and a digital year indicator aperture. Above is the shrouded two-tone rotating moon mounted against an enamel plaque that depicts the night sky. Movement: The carriage clock movement has screwed posts, is wound and set off the back plate and retains the original balance platform with a cylinder escapement and steel one piece balance wheel. All the motion, lunar and calendar work runs off the front plate and is partially visible through the glazed dial centers. The lunar feature is geared directly into the movement so the moon continually rotates while the day, date and month are automatically tripped as needed. The perpetual feature is governed by a set of small steel springs and levers mounted to the center calendar wheel that adjust to trip all the calendar features accordingly. The year is changed manually by pulling the knob on the back which advances the year and leap year indicator hand by one. Leap day is indicated by pushing the lever on the side every 4 years which trips the calendar hand backwards by one thus giving another day in February. Notes: Strasbourg Cathedral...Category
