BELL CHIMING BRACKET CLOCK
This superb English Chiming Clock is hand made throughout,
even down to the door locks on the case! The beautiful hand
engraved back plate is the most obvious visible sign of the
very high quality of the entire movement, which like the case,
is all hand made.
A selection of engraving styles can be chosen
and an inscription to commemorate the clocks commission included
in the design.
The movement has triple fusees driven by hand
made chains, each being 6 feet long. The movement is made with quarter
chiming on 8, cast and hand tuned bells, whilst the hour is struck
on a ninth and larger bell and the chimes can be switched between
Westminster and Whittington, or if you prefer, Westminster and St
Michael.
The whole, being regulated by a recoil anchor
escapement and Invar pendulum, is capable of very good time keeping.
The clock dial is traditionally produced with
a matt finish inside the centre of the chapter ring although extensive
engraving to match the back plate can be specified.
