Description

Clockwise is pleased to have for sale this lovely eight day fusee ships clock from the respected S D Neill of Belfast. Dating from circa 1890, this extremely high quality Winterhalder & Hofmeier fusee movement clock is in excellent original condition with the case and movement having just benefitted from a full restoration and the movement having maintaining power for exact timekeeping even during winding. Along with a high quality lever platform, a glorious porcelain dial and original thick bevelled glass to the case door this really is a gorgeous and sought-after piece in stunning condition. The movement is covered by my three year guarantee and is one of many ships clocks I have for sale.

Sharman D Neill gained a Royal Warrant during his life and owned one of the grandest businesses in Belfast. He was a famous jeweller and owned a retail business active from 1884 at Donegall Place, Belfast and at Edgware Rd, London from 1852 until c. 1880.

The 1897 census lists Sharman D. Neill as a jeweller and silversmith, watch and clock manufacturer, Turret Clocks a speciality. By appointment to HRH the Prince of Wales. 12, Donegall Place Res: Rowandean, Marlborough Park.

The 1902 directory contains the following insertion

Sharman D. Neill, watch and clock manufacturer, 12, Donegall Place. By appointment to His Majesty the King.

Res: Martello Terrace, Holywood.

Sharman D Neill’s shop doors were plate glass, and incorporated a time-piece as an integral part of the 'push' plates, on the doors.

He was also renowned as the manufacturer of most of the badges for the Ulster Volunteer Force from 1912 until 1914.

Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with global 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.

FAQs

A fusee clock uses a conical pulley with a spiral groove, connected to a cord or chain, to maintain constant driving power on the movement as the mainspring unwinds, ensuring accurate timekeeping.

Traditional ships clocks feature heavy cast brass or bronze cases designed to resist corrosion in marine environments, paired with thick bevelled glass and white enamelled dials.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-engraved fusee movements, high-quality timber or brass cases with patination, traditional tapered arbors, and maker signatures on the dial.

Fusee clocks require professional mechanical servicing every three to five years, regular winding using the correct key, and placement away from direct sunlight and damp environments.

A brass marine clock can serve as a striking focal point on a dark panelled wall, office bookshelf, or above a fireplace mantel in a study or hallway.
