Oddities

Movements

Massive racecource chronograph movement. Single pillar, with English lever escapement platform. Powered by a single 6-kilogram weight. Manufactured by Gaunts in Melbourne, approximately 1860. Apparently one of three ever made, where are the two others?

Movement made of steel plates, bushed in brass. Note also the silk suspension. Another highly unusual early 19th Century Belgian 30-hour longcase clock. Signed Nicolaÿ à Paliseul
