Strike Repeat Carriage Clock - Superb Example

Clockwise is delighted to welcome into stock this lovely eight day Victorian carriage clock with strike and repeat function. The corniche brass case is in fantastic condition as are the five bevelled glasses and the clock retains its vanity plate to the underside of the base. The rack-striking movement has a lever platform and has just been serviced and cleaned so benefits from my three year guarantee. The platform escape wheel has a dynamic action and the full hours are struck every hour onto a spiral gong with a single strike at every half hour. Original moon hands compliment the exquisite dial which is signed 'Gowland, Sunderland & Paris'. Clement Gowland was a watchmaker in Sunderland between 1780 and 1800 although members of Mr Gowland's family were running the business in Sunderland's High Street after those dates. From around 1825 until around 1840, William Gowland and his brother Clement were running the business and this clock dates from that period. This is a stunning, fully restored clock - no short guarantees or part restorations that other retailers offer - looking for its new forever home. Clockwise specialises in longcase and bracket clocks and with 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. The height measurement below of 7 inches is to the upturned handle.
