Fireplace clock with a central customer, moon phase and eternal calendar
Switzerland, England
Slate, enamel
around 1870
Dimensions: 41 x 37 x 19 cm
:
Housing made of slate with a wide base area and slightly protruding cover plate.
On the front we see two mercury thermometers at the top, on the left with the temperature display in Celsius, on the right in Fahrenheit.
The dial with Roman numerals, Breguet Zehern, Central Second and Open Brocot inhibition is arranged in the middle of the middle. The dial is signed: Aubert & Klaftenberger Geneve. In the external dial ring we find two small square pins, which is used above the XII to regulate the speed, which is used below the VI to set the time.
At the bottom left we see the date display, consisting of the central pointer for the months and the equatorial period, as well as three decentralized ads for the weekday, moon phase and date.
The calendar jumps directly on the first of the following month at 30 or 28 days. He also switches the leap year every four years.
Complicated calendars like this are referred to as "eternal calendars". In fact, it is "only" a 100-year calendar, because the leap year is no longer necessary every 100 years. Therefore, the calendar would have to be presented manually in 100 years by one day.
At the bottom right there is a barometer with central wind rose.
Two medals are listed on the outer ring at the bottom: Gold Medal Exhibition Paris 1849 and Universal Exhibition London 1851
Useful information:
The signature Aubert & Klaftenberger stands for the merger of a Swiss and an English watchmaker who drove their watches in their own shops in London, Paris, Vienna and Geneva.
The temperature display in Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as the date and air pressure display in English, address an international audience.
Condition: restored condition.
You can find an identical watch in the specialist book:
Catalogo de Relojes del Patrimonio Nacional - Fig. 462
