Bardon Clichy Master Wall Clock Konigsberg Germany Seal 1923 Pendulum Battery
HistoryVery little made it thru the WWII attacks on Konigsberg, Germany. First the shelling from the Royal Air Force inn August of 1944 and then by Soviet shelling in April of 1945. This one of a kind, Master Bardon clock, with a Konigsberg Seewarte seal somehow survived. Whether it was sheltered in the underground German bunkers or in the partial remains of the Konigsberg Observatory it did survive. The Observatory, a semi-circular two story research and observation facility with a brick vault (considered a regional architectural monument) is related to the clock via the Seewarte engraving on the clock seal."Seewarte" loosely translates as Naval Observatory or Oceanic Observatory or it could also be referring to the Atlantic Meteor voyage which mapped the ocean floor with the first sonic equipment and included the Konigsberg area in 1925-1927. The seal on this clock is also engraved Conigsberg, as it was first spelled for a period following the locations inception in 1843 as a mere Prussian settlement called Twangste.A piece of history from a location rich in history. Hitler had envisioned Konigsberg as a museum for everything the Germans had found in Russia Following the end of WWII and the Potsdam Agreement, Konigsberg, Germany became part of the Soviet Union (now Russia) and has remained so ever since. The Soviet Union renamed Konigsberg to Koliningrad. Today Konigsberg is of world interest as a Russian held area that is separated from the rest of Russia by two NATO countries. The situation with Ukraine makes this Russian held area of interest. Russia is most likely where this clock was purchased.Otto Pratje worked at the Konigsberg University with his chief study the geology of sea beds and he participated in the Meteor Atlantic expedition 1925-1926 eminating from Konigsberg. In 1937 he was appointed to establish and direct marine geological section of the Deutshe Seewarte at Hamburg. Both seafaring ventures produced official topographic and administrative maps of Germanys waters. Many dead underwater volcano's rising 1000 ft high in the ocean were identified for the first time with their 1st generation sonar equipment.Clock MechanicsThis Bardon Master clock appears to be one of a kind. Back is marble. Hangs at 52-1/2" long and 12" wide and 7 " deep.This is a battery run master clock with pendulum. Most likely from the Observatory in Koliningrad Konigsberg per the Seewarte seal on the front. Clocks by Bardon, Brillie and Vaucanson all embody similar principles. The coil is in the base. Extremely rare. Made in Clichy, France. Located at Etablissments bardon at the Societe Anonyme de Construction Electrique et Mechanique during the production years 1920-1925. Bardon hanging battery electromagnetic clock with oak case Bardon, Clichy. Charles Edouard GuillaumeThe Nobel Prize in Physics 1920 Precise measurement plays an important role in science. To provide a basis for precise measurements, the metric system and a German legal meter were instituted to define lengths. However, different materials expand differently when temperatures change, which limits the ability to make very precise measurements. In 1896 Charles-Edouard Guillaume succeeded in finding an alloy of nickel and steel that registered almost no change in length and volume as a result of temperature changes. The invar nickel-steel alloy had a significant effect on scientific instruments and incandescent light bulbs and was used in this clock.If you need this item shipped, that would be undertaken on your end. Your shipper would need to pack item and pick it up. If you are willing to make those arrangements it is an option for shipping. (Condition: Pre-Owned)

HAMILTON 21 Marine Chronometer w Box + Rare Navy Timing Cert. - Running Strong
eBay Up for sale is a 1941 Hamilton Model 21 Marine Chronometer with 3-tier Mahogany Box, Gimbal Suspension Ring and one-way ratcheting Winding Key, and a Rare Chronometer Timing Certification from the U.S. Navy Puget Sound shipyard. The clock is in excellent cosmetic and working condition. The wooden box in moderate to good condition.This item is the large 85-size Hamilton Model 21 marine chronometer ( and not the much smaller 35-size Hamilton model 22 chronometer) Only the clock, gimbal ring, wooden box, winding key and Navy Timing Certificate are included in this sale, as shown in the photos.The clock is in excellent running condition, and is keeping very good time. The last prior service was likely the 1989 overhaul performed at the Puget Sound Navy Shipyard, as indicated in the certificate. These clocks were recalled for servicing every 3 years to keep them running accurately to meet the demands of ship navigation.This specific clock was originally completed and sold in July of 1944. Based on the service sticker on the bezel, and the 1989 Navy timing certificate, it is likely this clock served 45 years aboard U.S. Navy ships.The clock runs strong and continuously for approximately 56 hours after a full wind-up.The clock movement appears to be very clean, with a very shiny luster. The movement is complete and appears to be in very good condition. There may be minor scratches, dirt, oil residue or other signs of wear. See photos of clock interior and mechanism.The clock dial is in good condition, with some some light scratches and spots of patina. There are the typical bezel compression rub-marks on the extreme outer edge of the dial where the bezel ring clamps down upon the dial. This wear is common, and is out of sight when the clock case is closed. (See photos).All 4 clock hands are present and are in fair to good cosmetic condition.The clock and box are signed in 2 visible locations with matching serial number 2E4744. It is also signed in a 3rd place, the barrel bridge, but that barrel bridge serial number location is covered by the cone shaped base of the balance locking brake.The glass is clear, with no visible defects. There are no chips on the beveled glass edges. See photos showing glass.The bezel ring is in good to condition with only slight spots of patina on the silvered area.This movement also features a Balance Brake Locking Arm, which was often be used to immobilize the delicate Balance Wheel when the clock was to shipped to a Navy Chronometer Service Center. No balance brake key is included. However, if desired the brake can still be lowered or raised using a common 1/16 inch L shaped hex key (not included).The Brass Chronometer Case Tub has and Gimbal Ring have a few light scratches and patina. (see photos)The chronometer's UP - DOWN winding power reserve indicator hand and its driving mechanism are working properly. The Up - Down indicator was used as follows: When in service aboard a ship, these marine chronometers were always wound every day, and at the same time each day, to ensure maximum timekeeping accuracy. It is the first 24 hours of operation after a full winding of the clock that isosynchronism (stable timekeeping rate) is best achieved. After 24 hours there is sometimes a slight drop-off in accuracy as the mainspring winds down from 24 to 48 hours. The Up - Down indicator was used as a visual verification that the chronometer had indeed been wound-up again for that day, and consistently for every day. If the hand passes the 24 hour mark, then it is time to wind up the chronometer again (even though it would continue running with lesser but still acceptable levels of accuracy).The 3-tier mahogany box is in good overall condition for its age. There are some scratches, oxidation on the box wood and the brass drop handles, latches and hinges. See photos.There is 1 metal corner inlay on the right side of the box exterior that is slightly raised, as the inlay nail has pulled through. See close up photo showing raised inlay.There are some horizontal streaks on the top half of the front side of the box (see close up photos). This could be loss of finish, and does not seem to be a true split in the wood.There is a thin streak on the top lacquer finish of the top lid. It is very shallow and is only visible with side lighting (see photo)The box drop-handles, latches and hinges are present and are working. Minor scratches and oxidation are present. See photos.The box's time observation glass plate is in good condition with neither any cracks nor any significant scratches.The brass gimbal ring, its support screws and nuts are all present and are functioning as expected. The metal surfaces are comparatively clean, with some minimal scratches and patina. See photos.The swiveling locking arm is present and is working properly.The wooden box measures approximately 7.5 inches on each side (excluding side handles)The clock dial is 4 and 1/8 inches in diameter Although the clock is currently functioning well and keeping good time, I cannot guarantee continued future operation or timing performance as all of the parts inside the clock are over 75 years old.Only the Chronometer clock, gimbal ring, winding key, Mahogany 3-tier box, and U.S. Navy timing Certificate are included in this sale. No other items are included.The chronometer will be carefully secured and balance wheel locked (immobilized for safe transport). The clock will be double-boxed with plenty of protective cushioning, with tracking and insurance for safe delivery. I've shipped over 20 of these chronometers with 100% of them arriving safely in undamaged condition Please ask before buying if you have any questions. Payment and ShippingThe cost of shipping includes tracking and insurance for the full value of the item. The clock will be corked, and double boxed with plenty of protective cushioning.This item only ships to addresses in the United States. Sorry, No International Shipping for this item.

1930s Art Deco clock by Herman Miller actually designed by *Gilbert Rohde
eBay 1930's Art Deco Clock made by Herman Miller that was actually designed by *Gilbert Rohde*Gilbert Rohde (1894-1944) was one of the most notable figures in the early history of modern design in America. "His goal was to convert Americans to an appreciation and understanding of modernist design," as quoted by Phyllis Ross, the author of his biography published in March 2009 by the Yale University Press.Beginning in 1932, and continuing up to his death in 1944, the works of Gilbert Rohde was to reflect American Steamline Moderne design, as well as current trends in European art and design, including French moderne, the International Design style associated with the Bauhaus, and later, Surrealism. Much of his work was featured at several major fairs of the 1930s, including the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago in 1933 and 1934, and in the Decorative Arts Pavilion at San Francisco's 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition.The clock does not work and will need to be repaired.
