!!** Magnificent Pristine Large Rapport Mantel/Shelf Clock with 1050-020 Triple Chime Movement & Balance by ‘Franz Hermle’ of Germany **!!

Description

Here we have a fully serviced, large Rapport of London, bracket / mantel /  shelf clock. These appear for sale very rarely in this condition. A chiming clock with a choice of 3 melodies; Westminster, St. Micheal and Whittington with a silence option. It has an eight-day motion works and is mounted in an almost pristine, fine finished, Mahogany case. It has been serviced, oiled and tested. Complete with winding key, it is working perfectly. Good for another 100 Years!!

This clock is signed and incorporates a balance movement labelled ‘Emil Schmeckenbecher’. In fact, it’s a 1050-020 movement produced by the famous by the famous German Franz Hermle Co. during 1987. It’s a mechanical wind-up clock, with a Spring Balance, accurate to a few seconds per day. Rated as an 8-day movement, it will in fact run for over 10 days between winding. A sure sign of a healthy motion works.

The Mahogany veneered case is in outstanding condition, with no obvious age-related marks. The front and rear doors have no drop on opening and close securely on their integrated clasps. The face has modest engraving in an attractive style. The Brass chapter ring is again, in almost perfect condition. It’s inscribed with the Rapport name and distinct, easy to read, black Roman numerals and hands. (Please see the pictures). The glass is clean & scratch free.

Each choice of the 3 chime melodies (Westminster, Whittington & St. Michael) sound on the quarter hours with strikes to count the full hours. The Westminster melody sounds in a Westminster 4/4 manor (like Big Ben!). The ‘chimes/silence’ lever is on the face next the number III and is used to select the three melodies as required. The chimes and strikes can be easily turned on and off here also. On restarting; the chimes will be out of step but they automatically re-synchronise within 90 minutes. It is usually a lot quicker. Please be patient.

This clock must be wound once every week or it will stop after 10 days.

Approximate size is quite large; 10.5" Wide   14.5" High   7" Deep .

 

Service & Lubrication

The clock looked like it had not run for many years when I acquired it. The strike & chime operating hardware was fully removed and inspected for wear. The movement was incredibly clean so no further strip down was needed. There were no problems detected at all and I am certain it has seen very little use. No wear was found on any of the wheel pivots. No new pivot bushes were required. All wheel pivots have been correctly oiled with fine German clock oil.

Each of the 3 springs were completely removed, checked, cleaned and lubricated with Horoglide mainspring oil.

The Mahogany case has been highly polished for this presentation. No other case restoration was needed or undertaken.

This superb clock will now continue to provide uninterrupted, faultless operation for many years. It is good practice to have a mechanical clock lightly serviced every 5 years or so.

 

Scope of Supply

This clock will be supplied complete with a key. No pendulum is required and no additional set-up is needed. It will even work properly on a boat!

All will be packed for safe delivery by express courier. The strike hammers will be held down during transit with the transportation locking clamp (shown with an orange label in photos). This must be raised upwards upon arrival or the chime will not function.

Personal collection is also available.

Low starting bid, no reserve. The express, next-day delivery service charge is £8.35 due to the insurance, size and weight, sorry.

Offers in the region of £300 will be considered. (it really is worth that much!)
