Kembery Antique Clocks Ltd has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
A date aperture and seconds dial. Engraved 'Coy Man of The Leach, Thos. Hampson Fecit' which is most unusual. A quality 8-day duration mechanism of unusual design with strike/silent feature. Hourly bell striking.
Thomas Hampson of Wrexham is recorded in Baillies' 'Watchmakers and Clockmakers of The World' book as working from 1728-1755. The case is slightly later than the mechanism. An interesting, early example of provincial clockmaking.
