Amazing, limited edition Rolling Ball Clock invented by William Congreve and patented in 1808, reproduced by Comitti London. A gorgeous alternative to the pendulum as the escapement regulator, a ball traverses along groves in the inclined platform that tips the escapement when the ball reaches the end; reversing the slope and sending the ball cascading to the other side. A favourite among clock collectors, the Congreve Rolling Ball Clock has limited accuracy, with the timekeeping limited to +/- 15 minutes per day. Solid brass gold plated fusee movement protected by a glass cover and solid mahogany case. The hours, minutes and seconds are indicated separately on three silver plated dials with roman numerals for the hours and arabic numerals for the seconds and minutes. Complete with a certificate of authenticity and with production limited to 25 pieces annually you are guaranteed a wonderful clock that will provide pleasure for generations to come.
