Fusee Ships Clock 1890

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Arundel Clocks
Description

Hi

I have for sale a very heavy English fusee ship's clock, sold with a fully serviced chain-driven fusee movement by Prescott & Co of Prescott.

The Case

The case is in solid brass; it is 24cm across x depth of 12cm and in good original condition with a cast hinged thick bevelled glass front door released via the original key and lock.

The Dial

The dial is in good original condition in white enamel at 17cm across, and the clock also retains its original black/blue spade hands.

The Movement

The movement is an eight-day timepiece; she has been fully serviced by me with a new spring added, and runs faultlessly over eight days, a really heavy movement and running via the original chain.

Overall, a very original clock which contains all of its original features, this is quite a rare find these days.

If you require any further information, please ask. I am happy to send more photographs or can video the clock running, if desired. You are also very welcome to come and view the clock in person, which I would be happy to recommend as the photographs really can’t do it justice.

As with all my clocks, this one is sold with a ‘back-to-base’ 3-month guarantee. I also offer future clock servicing, which I carry out personally at a heavily discounted rate.

I will post worldwide.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A fusee ships clock is a marine timepiece that utilizes a conical pulley mechanism, known as a fusee, to equalize the force exerted by the mainspring as it unwinds. This mechanism ensures consistent torque and highly accurate timekeeping aboard vessels.

Traditional marine clocks feature cast brass or bronze cases designed to withstand harsh nautical environments, alongside glass dial covers and enamel or silvered dials with painted numerals.

Authentic pieces generally feature substantial weight from heavy brass casings, key-wound movements, makers marks or location names on the dial, and side-hinged bezels secured by locking pins or latches.

A brass ships clock works well when mounted on a narrow wall space, within a home office, or integrated into a curated gallery wall alongside framed prints and brass accents.

Clean the outer brass case gently with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain its original patina, avoiding harsh chemical polishes. Internal mechanical movements should be professionally cleaned and lubricated by a horologist every few years.
