Frank Holden electromagnetic Four-Glass clock, c.1
A rare four-glass electromagnetic timepiece with an unusual balance, to the design of Frank Holden (patented in 1919). The whole antique clock is in excellent original condition. We intend to service it prior to sale, but it is currently working well.
The silvered Arabic dial has blued steel hands with centre seconds and is signed L.R. and A.S.E.M. PARIS, . This is Ateliers de Specialites Electriques et Mecaniques, a company which manufactured many of Holden's antique clocks.
The small polished and lacquered brass case has four beveled glasses.
An excellent article has been written by Dr. Hans Vrolijk about the life and works of Frank Holden. In it he details the 1919 patent: -
A nickel plated three tier platform contains a balance assembly. A flat coil on an armature passes between the poles of two circular magnets. Above this, the silver contacts open and close a circuit. This example has a flat hairspring mounted above the upper plate. The balance shaft then travels upwards and interacts with a ratchet and ratchet wheel to drive the motion work forward.
The seconds hand is advanced every half second.
We are proud to be one of the UK’s finest suppliers of high quality Antique Clocks. We are based in Somerset, but also serve the rest of the UK. We are also delighted to have a number of overseas customers.
The workshops have recently relocated to Somerset and we continue to stock a large range of antique clocks and new clocks at very competitive prices.
We are proud to be members of LAPADA, the Association of Art and Antique Dealers.
Carlton Clocks is also a business partner of the British Horological Institute.
Ian has years of experience in restoring and maintaining clocks. He has a particular interest in early electric clocks. You will see from our Electric Clocks catalogue that we also manufacture and supply a small range of parts for Bulle, Eureka and Brillie electric clocks.
The mix of other clocks for sale is limited only by what Ian finds interesting and/or beautiful, aesthetically or mechanically.
