About the Item

Charpentier Bronze - Achille Brocot Table or Wall Incomplete Clock Tremendous and rare incomplete table clock by Charpentier and the clock works by Paris clockmaker Louis Achille Brocot (French, 11 July 1817 – 19 January 1878) was a French clockmaker and amateur mathematician. He is known for his discovery (contemporaneously with, but independently of, German number theorist Moritz Stern) of the Stern–Brocot tree, a mathematical structure useful in approximating real numbers by rational numbers; this sort of approximation is an important part of the design of gear ratios for clocks. The Bronze clock body is by the renowned bronze maker Charpentier. This was originally a table Clock with a figural stand to support the clock; currently it has a bracket installed to hang from a bracket or nail.
