A very rare quarter chiming ebony table clock with calendar. The case has particularly elegant proportions and the unique dial is cast with a recessed centre allowing the chapter rings and spandrel mounts to fit flat to the dial in a most pleasing manner. The highly accomplished three train movement has 7 pillars, verge escapement and chimes on a nest of 6 bells. We know of no other 3 train spring clocks by this maverick and very talented clockmaker.
