What is a fusee movement?

A fusee is a conical drum inside the clock that equalises the declining power of the mainspring as it unwinds. This ensures consistent driving force is delivered to the gear train for greater accuracy. Clocks equipped with fusee movements are generally considered higher-grade horological examples from their respective periods.

How do ting-tang clocks strike?

A ting-tang striking mechanism uses two different hammers striking two gongs or bells to sound a two-tone note at the quarters. It differs from standard hour-striking clocks by providing an audible chime before the full hour count. This melodic feature is frequently encountered in quality German and English mantel clocks.

How do I identify an Edwardian clock?

Edwardian timepieces often display lighter mahogany timbers combined with delicate satinwood or boxwood inlay work. The design styles frequently draw upon Sheraton Revival motifs or French Belle Epoque influences. Date markers in the movement construction or retailer signatures on the dial also help confirm the era.
