Sinclair Harding Great Wheel Condliffe Skeleton Table Clock

Sinclair Harding Condliffe Great Wheel, single train skeleton table clock, featuring a ‘Graham Deadbeat’ escapement controlled by a ‘silk’ suspension pendulum, requiring winding once weekly. Dimensions: 23.6" (60cm) height x 12.6" (32cm) width x 6.3" (16cm) depth.

The exquisite crossings of the wheelwork and plates have been designed to show Sinclair Harding’s attention to detail and finishing at its very best.

The frames, pierced out of nickel-plated brass, are gracefully faceted, polished and burnished to provide a gleaming support for the four-wheel train. The Great Wheel has 288 teeth and makes only one revolution daily. This drives the centre wheel, which is framed, by the pierced chapter ring and bezel. The hands are extremely delicate and made in highly polished and blued steel to provide a greater contrast.

The escapement is a ‘Graham Deadbeat’ controlled by a ‘silk’ suspension and Invar pendulum. The movement is fitted with Maltese cross stop work to achieve the best timekeeping and the clock runs for a full 8 days.

The movement is mounted on two ornate pillars and appears to be floating over sandwiched darkly-stained wood.

Finally the clock is protected by a framed glass shade, which is hinged, so that it does not need removing to wind.
