A Miniature Two Train Vienna Regulator

About the Item

A rare wedge shaped laterndluhr Vienna regulator with a two train weight driven movement of exceptional quality. The eight day movement strikes the hours on a spiral gong and is powered by two brass bound weights. This beautiful miniaturised example of a Viennese type movement has all the elements of its larger counterparts, including a pull repeat lever and elongated deadbeat escapement, and the pendulum is suspended from the case on a knife edge pivot. The crisp white enamel dial signed W. Blätterbauer, Fünfkirche, has a gilded engraved surround with roman numerals and blued steel hands. The case is made of ebonised fruit wood with contrasting string inlay with glazed front and sides surmounted but a pediment top. This clock dates from the 1830’s, made in Fünfkirche, now know as Pécs in Hungary, during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is rare due its size and shape, as well as unusually being a more complex striking movement rather than a timepiece. This clock is shown unserviced, and will need to be overhauled before shipping please allow 4 weeks before delivery in order for us to ensure the clock is in perfect working order, this clock comes with our two year guarantee.

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. Examples of clocks by Grimalde and Johnson can be found in, “The Georgian Bracket Clock, 1714-1830” by Richard Barber and “English Bracket and Mantel Clocks” By Andrew Nicholls...

By Victor Athanase Pierret
Located in Amersham, GB
A miniature French skeleton clock with silk suspension and eight day movement, dating from the mid 19th century, with original glass dome on an ebonised and brass inlayed base with enamel dial. This clock was made by Victor Athanase Pierret whose distinctive VAP mark in an oval is stamped on the base of this clock. He exhibited a small skeleton alarm at the 1851 Great exhibition at Crystal Palace of which this may well be a version. Victor-Athanase Pierret (1806 - 1893) Victor-Athanse Pierret was born 1806 in Bucy-les-Pierrepont. He began his five year apprenticeship with Rolin at the age of 13. Later he moved to Paris and settled in the Rue des Bons-Enfants no. 21 when he was 24. Pierret created pendulum clocks with and without calender indicator, cases for ship’s chronometers, chronometer escapements with temperature compensation and night light clocks with pendulum. At the London Exhibition of 1851 he presented an alarm clock and a pendulum clock with a globe. In 1853 Pierret applied for a patent for a new date indication device, in 1855 he patented an 8-day power reserve movement. Pierret created his own watchmaking tools...
