| The
popularity of skeleton clocks stems from the great
exhibition in London 1851. Their appeal was that every
detail of the movement was visible, facilitated by
the cut away plates and the fine mirror finish of
every component.
This made them a firm favourite of the Victorians
with their enthusiasm for the elaborate and all things
mechanical.
Each clock is hand made from solid brass, polished
and gold plated. The movements are mounted on mahogany
bases and protected by glass covers.
The unique quality is reflected in the very small
numbers of each model we are able to make each year. |
