French Pendulum Clock & Aneroid Barometer, circa 1960

About the Item

Clock and aneroid barometer in walnut made circa 1960. The aneroid barometer (or holosteric barometer) was developed by the Frenchman Lucien Vidie who filed a patent for it in 1844 (in collaboration with Antoine Redier, inventor of the alarm clock). The walls of a vacuum capsule, called “Vidie capsule” are held apart by a spring. Atmospheric pressure presses more or less on the aneroid case (capsule) and thus makes the hand turn on the dial, thanks to a precision mechanism. The French movements are in good working order. The case is in good condition with only very minor signs of wear. Shipping: L34 P20 H9 1.3 KG.
