1 of 6
We offer for consideration, this immaculate and rare all-original 6” fusee drop dial timepiece from the George IV era. Handcrafted by master clockmaker George Philcox, 20 Sun Street, Canterbury, Kent.
THE CLOCK IS ONLY 37cm HIGH, (or 14.5"), ABOUT THE SIZE OF A STANDARD BOTTLE OF WINE, so a very rare, diminutive timepiece indeed!
• A turned Walnut head, that sits over a chisel shaped drop box.
• Hinged inspection door located on the side of the box.
• Operable lockable regulator door located at the bottom of the box.
• Retains its diminutive and original 6” convex metal dial with offset arbour.
• Black Roman numerals, with Philcox’s details, and finished with its original pair of blued steel spade hands.
• Original thick convex glaze mounted in a brass bezel.
• Quality 8-day single fusee movement with rectangular plates separated by turned pillars.
• Comes with its original 54mm diameter brass pendulum bob, regulator door and winding keys.
Born 1795, Philcox was a prolific antique clock, watch and chronometer maker, who as indicated in various research sources, often moved from one operating location to another…Between 1826 to 1835, he had apparently relocated to London and was based at Chatham Street, Borough.
However, between the 12-year period of 1835 to 1847, he was registered at several different and singular locations: 24 Great Dover Street, Southwark (1835-36) 11 Wellington Street, London Bridge, (1836-39) 7 Southwark Square, Southwark (1839-42) 22 Southwark Square, Southwark (1842-45) and 247 Borough High Street, Southwark (1845-47). By 1861, it appears that he had moved away from the city altogether, being listed as working and living from 5 Howard Street, Reading, Berkshire, yet by 1871, he was back in central London at 7 Lower Smith Street, Clerkenwell, in the heart of the then thriving London watchmaking community, which may offer a reason as to why he moved back to the city. By 1874 he had moved once again within the Clerkenwell district, this time to Northampton Road.
Philcox registered two Patents during his lifetime, both relating to chronometers and there timekeeping. The first, (named the “Diamond Lever Escapement” and numbered 8145) was registered in July 1839, whilst working from Wellington Street, London Bridge. The second, (numbered 11177), being registered in April 1846, whilst at Borough High Street, Southwark. (Both these patents were marketed sometime later in 1853, by the ‘Patent Chronometer Watch and Clock Co.’, at 2 Winchester Buildings, Old Broad Street, London!) Continuing to produce high-quality timepieces until c1875, Philcox eventually passed away in 1878 aged 83, at the draconian sounding “Watchmakers Asylum”, in New Southgate, North London…Make of that, what you will!!
