Clockwise has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The case has a lovely patina and is of a standard pegged design with the surround pegged to the back box. The original cast bezel closes firmly and frames the lovingly restored twelve inch convex dial within the turned surround perfectly; original steel hands finish off the glorious appearance. The maker's name is present - Wilson of Cambridge - who was a watchmaker and jeweller situated at 23 Market Hill in Cambridge. There is both a lower door and side door to the case and the eight day high quality movement, which has tapered shoulders to the plates (again, typical of the late Georgian/early Victorian period), has just been serviced with new line fitted and comes with my three year worldwide guarantee as standard. An original fusee 'butterfly' key accompanies this rare piece.
Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with clients from the world of business, film, sport, royalty and aristocracy - yet more than happy with traditional clients - Clockwise has an unrivalled reputation for excellence and superb service.
