Description
A very rare early 20th century French Electromechanical Regulator Clock by Brillie with a second's pendulum, slave contacts, a thick variegated white marble backboard and a molded glazed mahogany case.
The silvered engraved chapter ring dial has Roman numerals for the hours, a concentric subsidiary seconds dial with Arabic numbers, steel Breguet- style hands, a sweep seconds bit and is signed 'Electrique Brillie'
The movement is suspended from a massive bracket numbered 'R254', is powered by a 1.5V battery and has several star-wheels and detents that impulse the slave clocks and dictate impulses to drive the pendulum. The massive pendulum is suspended by a dual-spring suspension block with several screwed adjustments. The twin Invar rods support a massive brass spherical bob and magnet. When the clock is running the pendulum receives impulse from the coil as dictated by the detents above.
Height - 55.25in.
Width - 15in.
