RARE month duration Longcase by Samuel Aldworth
This very fine and possibly unique clock by Samuel Aldworth is one of the finest clocks ever to have borne the name of John Knibb’s right-hand man. Encased within one of the finest Burr Walnut veneered cases, this breath-taking clock of not only month duration, but also built in such an un-orthodox way in order to achieve a seconds dial within the break arch of the dial plate.
This clock encapsulates Samuel Aldworth’s finest workmanship, it is most likely that Aldworth is showing off his own ideas and showcasing his skills in his own right.
Dial: Possibly one of the most interesting parts of the dial comes in the form of the break arch, very rarely indeed do you find a seconds subsidiary dial in this position and in order to do this takes a great amount of skill. Not only this but also boasting two other subsidiary dials to depict month of the year including signs of the Zodiac to the left and days of the week also incorporated by the Zodiac signs to the right. To the centre of the dial behind the finely blued steel hands there is a matted centre with date aperture below the XII and signed in a cartouche Sam Aldworth at Childrey from London above VI. The silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals for the hour and Arabic five minute numerals, also featuring fleur-de-lys half hour and diamond half-quarter markers. The dial is finished with beautiful cast and chased Indian mask spandrels. The complete dial measures 12” by 17” to the top of the break arch.
