Marine interest:  A 19th century Parkinson & Frodsham chronometer deck watch, comprising a signed/numbered 421 silvered dial, numeral hour indices, subsidiary dial at 6, case approx 72mm, to a wooden case, the case No 421 two day chronometer. Notes: according to official contemporary accounts from Parkinson & Frodsham, we can ascertain an approximate date of manufacture as being circa 1821. Their records confirm that serial number 420 was allocated to a pair of silver pair cases (hallmarked for 1821), with serial number 422 allocated to another pair of silver pair cases (also hallmarked for 1821). Records from the Bond Papers of William Bond & Son of Boston, USA (Harvard Library Collection) state that the chronometer was ‘cleaned and adjusted for a Captain Webster, on 22nd October 1834. Captain Webster would relate to John Adams Webster, who was a Third Lieutenant in the United States Navy. Captain Webster distinguished himself at the Battle of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, during the August 1814 engagement against the British. By 1816 he’d been appointed as Sailing Master in the U.S. Navy by President James Madison, and in 1819 as Captain in the U.S. Revenue Service (by President Monroe). Further appointments followed through to the mid 1830’s. Numerous pages of research relating to Captain Webster’s career, Parkinson & Frodsham, and other interesting pieces of research. Further details: some marks to dial, wear and tear commensurate with age   Note: regarding watches/pocket watches please note movements untested, functionality untested, for more information request a condition report with specific questions or please view in person

Wotruba in his article The story behind 'PATENT SURETY ROLLER' stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2019 (pages 239-47). Wotruba describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transported) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1879. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861 before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. Louis Bilton (c1860-1910) is noted by the Museum of Applied Arts and Science, New South Wales, Australia, as taking up employment as painter with Doulton & Co in Burslem (Staffordshire, England) in 1892. prior to this he travelled to Sydney in 1885-7 to make drawings of the native flora to illustrate 'The picturesque atlas of Australasia', a monumental three volume set published between 1886 and 1888 by John Sands.   Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements.

Exhibit P59.Based on the number, it is thought that this chronometer was made around 1882.The micrometric balance, or as it was marketed, the 'Double Compound Micrometric Equation balance', uses cone shaped weights and three central strips of metal to account for temperature error, including middle temperature error. There is also a collar of brass that partially surrounds the balance, the idea being that, should the fusee chain break, the escapement would still be protected. The escapement was commended when it was introduced around 1862, as allowing the owner to adjust the chronometer's rate without needing to remove the balance.Blake, W.

A Fascinating and Unique 19th Century Mahogany Floor Standing Eight-Day RegulatorRecorded by Dr Vaudrey Mercer to be the Arnold Workshop RegulatorThe hood with flat top and ogee moulded cornice over plain sides and square glazed front door lined in a quarter-moulding, the throat with narrow moulding over two trunk doors: the upper being 29.5 inches long with central lock and moulded edge, the lower 16.5inches long with a lock, to a plain apron at the base. The sides of the case plain except for a pair of 5 inch panels let into the sides set at 37.5inches from the pendulum suspension point (presumably evidence of an alternative pendulum being in use at some stage). A small handwritten paper label bearing a fractional number (365/189?) is applied to the interior left-hand side. The 22cms (8.75inch) square silvered brass dial with twin subsidiaries set one above the other; the upper marked in Arabic five-second intervals with inner Observatory marks at the fives, with single blued steel counter-balanced hand. The lower dial with identical markings and now set with a pair of blued steel hands to give hours and minutes. Signed across the centre of the dial Arnold, 84 Strand, LONDON. The weight driven movement with arched plates measuring 22cms x 13cms (8.75ins x 5.25ins) united by five knopped pillars pinned through the backplate (the movement originally had six pillars, although this last was removed in order to make way for a new great wheel), the lower two pillars threaded to accept securing bolts from the underside. Now winding through the front on to a barrel, with Harrison's maintaining power. The great-, centre- and third-wheels all of six crossings, the deadbeat 'scape wheel of four crossings, to a pair of jewelled pallets spanning eleven teeth, the high count pinions unusually made of brass. The long steel crutch with brass fork to an invar pendulum rod terminating in a pair of steel cylinders joined top and bottom and held by a long threaded screw to allow for fine adjustment. The pendulum is suspended from a substantial right angled brass frame secured to a solid mahogany block mounted on the backboard via seven screws, its lower right-angled arms drilled to accept the securing bolts which locate into the two lower movement pillars. With pendulum and small brass weight.Footnotes:Provenance: The private collection of Dr Vaudrey Mercer, and thence by descent. Dr Mercer was confident enough to record this in his exhaustive work, John Arnold & Son, Chronometer Makers 1762-1843 (published in 1972, and updated with a supplement in 1975) as 'The Workshop Regulator'. Five pages and four plates are dedicated to it in Chapter XI, which also includes the seven other known Arnold regulators at that time: John Arnold No.1; Arnold No.2; the Manheim regulator; Arnold No.101; two at Dunskirk Observatory (only one of which is complete); and the Shuckburgh regulator. He suggests that the current pendulum may have been added by Dent, or 'more likely by Frodsham when the business was taken over by them.' Having discussed different aspects of the clock, Mercer delivers the following verdict: '..I think this clock started life as a thirty hour clock with only minutes and seconds hands, and that it was used purely and simply as a regulator in the true sense of the word and almost certainly by John Arnold himself. The dial and eight day mechanism being an improvement on John Roger's part, to save the bother of daily winding, and then perhaps later still the hour hand was added, but still retaining the old dial without any hour numerals.' It is very interesting to note that while the use of two doors on the case trunk is very rare, it is not unheard of – a similar example exists in the collection of the Royal Museums Greenwich, reference number ZAA0534.
