Lot 196
A 19th century French gilt brass mounted 'Boulle' tortoiseshell inlaid mantle clockthe movement signed Vincenti et Ciethe swept arched case with intricate brass inlay and foliate mounts surmounted by an urn above a fully glazed front door and sides on scrolling feet, the cast brass dial with separate Arabic and Roman enamel cartouche insets to the chapter ring, the winding holes on a matted and foliate case ground with blued steel hands, the twin spring barrel movement with Brocot escapement and suspension, with elaborate sunburst pendulum, case key, winding key and suspension key, 57cms highFootnotes:Born in Corsica in 1786, Jean Vincenti's family moved to Montbeliard in1791. By 1823 he had established a factory making rough movements for clocks and watches. It seems that the bulk of the ebauche/rough movement machinery used in the factory was self-made. The factory went bankrupt in 1828, but by October 1829 Albert Roux had possibly enerted into partnership with Vincenti, or possibly bought his factory outright, however the name, Vincenti & Cie, was kept. Around 1830, in addition to the rough movements (of which 3,000 were being produced a year), mechanical devices were being made as well, including metronomes, oil lamps, music boxes, etc. In 1834, Roux took over an old sawmill and weaving factory and, as the building dated to 1773, updated it and based Vincenti & Cie there. Before this move it was known in the area as L'usine de la Petite Raisse (The Factory of Petite Raisse); by the time Vincenti & Cie ceased trading, it was known as L'Usine Roux (Roux's Factory). Vincenti died in 1834, the same year Vincenti & Cie won a silver medal at the Exposition. They would go on to win medals at the Expositions of 1839,1844,1849,1855, and 1867.In 1850, workers lodgings were built on the site and six years later, a house for Roux and his family was constructed within the factory's footprint. Albert died in 1858 and was succeeded by his son Amédée. His son would expand the output of the factory to encompass chiming clocks, travel alarm clocks, Morse code receivers, and several other devices. 1864 saw the addition of a foundry to the factory; in this same year, it is recorded that 5,500 rough clock movements were made per month. Amédée died in 1876, when his son was 9. It seems likely (based on similar situations with other horologists) that Amédée's wife, Emma de Freystedt, would have taken over the running of the factory, until Albert had been educated. Albert was listed as an horological manufacturer, as were his father and grandfather, therefore it seems likely he would have taken over the running of the factory eventually. 1890 saw another expansion into phonograph movements and mechanisms for various meters, extinguishers, etc. Initially their customers had been in Paris, and later the Jura region. By 1890, however, their client base had expanded to neighbouring Belgium and Switzerland, as well as slightly further afield in the UK and even the USA. To meet demand, they were making 80,000 clock movement per year, though this figure does include the clockwork motors and meters mentioned above. Around this same time, the foundry was being used to make brass and bronze wire, an operation that was expanded in 1895. That same year, a salesroom was established in Paris, 110 rue Vielle-du-Temple.The last expansion of the factory took place in 1902, when a new steam engine and steam engine room were installed, to modernise the factory's water wheels and 1840's steam engine. By 1926, 57 people remained working in the factory, and the doors were finally closed in 1929. At its peak, in 1863, the Vincenti & Cie factory had employed 400 workers, and been the largest rough movement manufacturer of clocks in France, with the exception of Japy freres.Raphaël, F., Région Franche-Comté, Inventaire du patrimoine (2012) Usine d'horlogerie et de mécanique de précision Roux et Cie.

Lot 276
A very rare late 19th century Japanese brass Dai-Dokei with side-pendulum and engraved dial platesurmounted by a heavy bronze straight-sided bell mounted on a turned brass post set on the overhanging brass top plate, the shaped rectangular dial plate engraved with scrolling foliage around the rotating 3.5'' twenty-four hour dial now marked in Roman hours twice I-XII, subdivided into ten minute divisions, with brass alarm setting hand and elaborately pierced stationary hour hand, the weight-driven birdcage movement with twin vertical verge escape wheels and double-sided pallets, each wide swing of the crutch (pendulum now lacking) acting on alternate wheels, with trains of four wheels, each wheel of brass and with solid centres to steel high-count pinions, the striking train with solid brass toothed count wheel striking the hours, 1-12 on a vertical hammer, governed by a four-vane fly, 27cms highFootnotes:Japanese lantern clocks belong to a larger group of traditional Japanese clocks known as Wadokei. Within the category of 'lantern clock' are various sub-divisions, including Dai-dokei which are lantern clocks that were displayed under a hood on a specially made four-legged stand, Yagura-dokei a lantern clock on a pyramidal prism stand and a Hashira-dokei the closest to a European lantern clock, which would sit on a wood wall bracket, occasionally with a hood. It is difficult to say definitively which category this clock belongs to as it does not have a stand or bracket with it. However, it is clear from examining the movement that it is not missing any side doors, which suggests that it would have been covered by something to protect it from the elements. Furthermore, as it has a four wheel train it is considered to be a larger clock, by Wadokei standards, which means it is unlikely to be hung on a wall; most Japanese house walls at this time were made of light wood and paper, with the exception of the central wooden beam which supported the structure. Considering these two factors, this clock can be tentatively classified as a Dai-dokei, though this remains conjecture.This is likely to be a transitional clock; beginning in 1873 Japan converted their national time system from temporal hours to equally divided hours. Before this date, most clocks made in Japan had dials and striking that reflected a day being variably divided into six toki during the day, and six during the night. The exact length of the toki would vary depending on the season; however, there would always be six divisions in both day and night. The numbers used to refer to each toki were a sequence from 9-4 with 9 representing midnight, 6 representing dawn down to 4, before repeating the sequence with 9 representing midday and 6 representing dusk. The numerals would be represented by animals as well, with twelve animals used so that in conversation 'the toki of the Horse' clearly referred to 9 during the day (or Noon), whereas 'the toki of the Rat' was 9 during the night (midnight). In order to display this on a clock dial a foliot escapement was used which could be regulated to go faster or slower depending on the day; double foliots were created as well with automatic, cam-assisted switch over between the daylight rate and the night time rate. Clocks without foliot escapements would be provided with moveable hour plaques, which could be pushed manually or mechanically around the chapter ring as the season dictated.In 1875, the first clock factory opened in Japan, primarily making American-type domestic clocks, all with uniform hours. Before this point, all clocks in Japan had been made by individual clockmakers; there was no wholesale 'rough movement' industry either, so generally one craftsman would create a clock from metal plate and rod, perhaps spending a year making each one. This accounts for the unique qualities of the clocks made before 1875; although they look similar, no two are interchangeable. This clock has a pendulum movement and vertical double crown wheel escapement, which is occasionally seen pre-1873, but a fixed Roman numeral chapter ring as well as a standard 12-hour count wheel, both features which were not seen until after 1873. However, the spring finger on the striking detent which connects with the hour pin on the back of the revolving dial is a pre-1873 construction, as is the traditional bell with its thickened inner rim. It seems likely that this clock was made circa 1873, having a combination of older and newer features, looking similar to other earlier clocks, but using the new system of time display. That it is a fully brass movement and has a fixed hour hand with a revolving dial, suggests it is at the later end of the Wadokei timeline.Provenance-Sold in these rooms 12 December 2018, Lot 101Strachan, A.
