What is a fusee clock?

A fusee clock uses a conical pulley connected to the mainspring by a fine chain or cord. This system regulates the power output to the movement as the spring runs down. Such movements are typical of better-quality British timekeeping from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, offering improved accuracy over standard spring-driven alternatives.

How do I wind a bracket clock?

Winding requires inserting a matching key into the winding holes on the dial face and turning it gently until resistance is felt. Care must be taken not to overwind the mainspring. Most traditional bracket clocks require weekly attention to keep the timekeeping and striking trains functioning correctly.

Where were these clocks made?

These items were produced by master horologists and workshops operating within London. The capital was a major centre for clock and watchmaking innovation. Local guilds and makers supplied domestic and international markets with precision instruments housed in regional cabinet timbers.
