NO. 3.
CAMPBELL & ARCHARD, TONBRIDGE, NO. 3, 2010.
This clock was commissioned by one of our long term customers who had seen the original early 1800s Viennese clock on which it was based and wished to have a similar looking clock but with some modern changes to the movement.
The movement, which has been built by Gorge de Fossard, is of six months duration and employs a single plate with cocks and bridges to mount all of the wheel work. It has a fully adjustable deadbeat escapement. The pendulum is a five rod gridiron and, therefore, adjusts for temperature. The clock is driven by a relatively heavy oval weight which runs down behind the pendulum.
The dial has a beautiful engine turned bezel and engine turned, gilded inner section with a silvered chapter ring and silvered subsidiary ring for seconds and for the signature plaque. The hands are arrow shaped and counter balanced.
