About the Item

19th century mantel clock with moon phase and perpetual calendar Switzerland, England slate, enamel circa 1870 Dimensions: 41 x 37 x 19 cm Description: Slate case with wide base and slightly protruding top plate. On the front we see two mercury thermometers on top, on the left with the temperature display in Celsius, on the right in Fahrenheit. The dial with Roman numerals, Breguet hands and an open Brocot escapement is located centrally between the thermometers. The central seconds hand is also worth mentioning. In the outer dial ring we find two small square pins, one is used to regulate the speed, the other is used to set the time. The dial is signed: "Aubert & Klaftenberger GENEVE". At the bottom left we see the date display, consisting of the central hand for the months and the equatorial time, as well as three decentralized displays for day of the week, moon phase and date. In the short months with 30 or 28 days, the calendar jumps directly to the first of the following month. It also switches the leap year every four years. Complex calendars like this one are called "perpetual calendars". Strictly speaking, however, it is "only" a 100-year calendar, because every 100 years the leap year is omitted. Therefore, the calendar would have to be introduced manually once in 100 years by one day. At the bottom right is a barometer with a central compass rose. On the outer ring at the very bottom are two medals: "Gold Medal EXHIBITION Paris 1849" and "UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION LONDON 1851". Worth knowing: The signature Aubert & Klaftenberger stands for the merger of a Swiss and an English watchmaker, who sold their clocks and watches in their own stores in London, Paris, Vienna and Geneva. The temperature display in Celsius and Fahrenheit, as well as the date and air pressure display in English, appeal to an international audience. Condition: Restored condition. All functions are working fine. You can see an identical watch in the reference book: Catalogo de Relojes del Patrimonio Nacional - Fig. 462 Data and facts about Aubert & Klaftenberger can be found in the literature: Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World 21st Edition - p. 28, p. 449.
