Sinclair Harding (UK) Ltd

 	 Two Train Condliff Clock 	 The two train skeleton clock based on the design of James Condliff, Liverpool circa 1860. This is the latest addition to the range of skeleton clocks made by Sinclair Harding, based on the series 2 style manufactured by the famous Liverpool clockmaker James Condliff. 	 In the Victorian era may be less than 100 skeleton clocks of various styles by this company were made and very few of the original skeleton clocks ever appear at auction. This latest Two Train Skeleton clock is possibly the most elegant of the Condliff clocks with extremely delicate frames. 	 Sinclair Harding use the latest technology with CNC machines producing components of great accuracy, however all clocks are individually polished by hand to a high degree of finish. 	 A number of Condliff&#39;s clocks had normal wheel trains with pendulums, this clock has a large balance wheel with helical balance spring surmounted at the top of the clock frame this gives a most attractive and balanced look. The clock beats seconds and this is shown by the centre sweep seconds hand against the hand silvered chapter ring, all the hands and striking work are polished and blued. 	 A French polished wood base is used which is built in a box section to house the bell, the clock strikes on the hour. A very elegant bevelled glass shade with an opening door is supplied to keep dust away from the very fine mechanism.  

Skeleton Clock

 	 Condliff with Passing Strike 	 In homage to the James Condliff of Liverpool, circa 1860 this single train skeleton clock features exquisite crossings of the wheelwork and plates which highlight Sinclair Harding&#39;s attention to detail and finishing at its very best. 	 The frames, pierced out of solid 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. 	 A passing strike produces a single clear strike every half hour on a hand tuned bell. The mechanism is unique to Sinclair Harding and has been created to maintain the symmetry of the design. Two hammers act on one bell and strike the alternate hours. A simple lever hidden under the base can be used to silence the strike at night. 	 The movement is mounted on two ornate pillars and appears to be floating over the base made from a sandwich of decorative Brass plates and a choice of a selected wood or marble. 	 The clock is protected by a bevelled glass shade, which does not need removing to wind. The Condliff Clock can be finished either in Gold, Rhodium or a combination of Gold and Rhodium. 	 Height: 48cm. Width: 33cm. Depth: 18cm.
