About the Item
An extremely small single fusee bracket clock in a scalloped mahogany case. The eight day movement having a half deadbeat escapement with a T bar pendulum with hold fast, is beautifully made and of particularly fine quality, signed “Wm Johnson Strand London” on the back plate and dial. The half deadbeat escapement was often used by high quality english makers such as Grimalde & Johnson and Vulliamy. The 3 inch silvered dial, framed by a gilded engine bezel, has fine blued steel pierced heart hands.
The unusual case veneered in mahogany in the form of a stylalised scallop shell supported on foliate scroll work forming the feet.
William Johnston is first recorded in partnership with Peter Grimalde between 1815 and 1825, before setting out on his own, Grimalde & Johnston were celebrated precision chronometer makers, Johnson continued to work in the same style and vein at 50 The Strand until 1851, and was famed for his diminutive bracket clocks, examples of Johnsons work can be found in the Greenwich Royal Observatory Collection.

Grimaldi and Johnson, Strand, London. Miniature Bracket Timepiece
By Grimaldi & Johnson
Located in Amersham, GB
A very fine and rare miniature bracket timepiece made by one of Britain’s most revered horological partnerships. The eight day single fusee movement held by four turned pillars with anchor escapement, adjustable lenticular pendulum and hold fast, is of exceptional quality. Housed in an ebonised and glazed bell top bracket clock case of a design particularly associated with this firm, the silvered roman dial with subsidiary date dial in the break arch is signed and also on back plate.
This clock is in excellent original condition with a fully glazed back door and side panels with the U shaped carrying handle, a distinctive trademark of Grimalde and Johnson, standing on turned acorn feet.
William Johnston is first recorded in partnership with Peter Grimalde between 1810 and 1825, before setting out on his own, Grimalde & Johnston were celebrated precision chronometer makers, and are known for making this style of miniaturised bracket clock during this period in very limited numbers.
