Lot 1065 - A192 Decorative Arts - Thursday, 18. June 2020, 02.00 PM
LONG-CASE CLOCK WITH DATE AND SECOND, MANUAL EQUATION OF TIME AND PERPETUTAL CALENDAR,
Case restored. Cracks and losses in the marquetry. Bronze application with crack. A minor part of the movement has been removed, probably the escapement locking mechanism.
François Ageron was a brilliant watchmaker and was known for his high-quality, mainly complicated movements. The unique movement of the clock on offer has a manually-adjustable perpetual calendar, which is reminiscent of an astrolabe in the way it functions.
