Sold by: Arundel Clocks

Hi
 
I have for sale a very rare 1870s French black Belgian solid marble clock made in France by the partnership of Achille Brocot and Delletrez which split with the death of Achille Brocot in 1874.
 
This is the second one I have managed to pick up in 30 years this clock came from Paddington Hospital.
 
The clock contains some mega rare features as it is a genuine month-running clock with the full 28 escape wheel which travels in the opposite direction to the conventional 8-day versions and has an extra gear to ensure this operates so a balance correctly center seconds hand accompanies the workings.
 
The clock has a full perpetual calendar which includes the correction for leap years also the outside edge is the equation of time, to the opposite is a barometer with the mounted bourdon tube so no need for tapping it.
 
The movement is run via the Ellicott pendulum stamped with the maker''s mark.
 
The clock also contains two thermometers one in Fahrenheit and the other in reauma...
