J.W.Benson (drocourt) Carriage Clock

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Its About Time

This fine carriage clock is a rare find, it''s a J.W.Benson retailed carriage clock which was made for them by Drocourt and retains the original outer leather covered case which is gilt stamped to the inside of the lid (see pictures) on the attractive purple velvet which cushions the clock in the ''travel case''. The clock has benefited from a complete overhaul. When we fully overhaul a clock we literally take the whole clock to pieces, this means the case, the movement, the escapement and all the bevelled glass. Every part is inspected, serviced, cleaned and polished. We then re-bush and ultrasonic clean! J.W.Benson would stamp their clocks with an oval stamp the same size as the stamp of Drocourt''s. We have often seen the Drocourt stamp over stamped with the J.W.B. The clock strikes on a soft gong for the hour and half hour and the dial is free from any cracks or chips. A good ''investment grade'' clock with the original case and key!
