Clock number 1101
After completing a commission of a three train clock I thought I would build one to my own taste and came up with this effort. The clock has three trains, with dead beat escapement, Chimes on eight bells (either Whittington or a straight forward peal), and strikes the hours on a coiled gong. No additional complications were made except that each part should be unusual and to be as fancy as is reasonably possible. The unusual wheel design was supplied by Nathan Bower whose site may be viewed here. Emanuel Micallef of Valletta, a furniture maker and restorer, made the base.
The dial was drawn by our artist in the UK and after fretting out was sent to the Master Engraver, Peter Fox, also in the UK. Then back for mounting and finishing.The style is based on a Smith’s design – as are components such as Hands, Cocks, Clicks etc.
Cubic Zirconia were used to decorate many items such as the eyes of the ‘bird hammers’, snake tension springs, etc.
Skeleton clock makers may purchase ‘lost wax’ cast cocks for their decorative clocks from our Malta workshop.

Clock Number 0501
A month going clock showing the day of the month, and the phases of the moon, and has dead beat escapement.
This clock was designed in Gosport and, due to closing down for shipping the workshop to Malta, was not finished until recently. A special left hand fusee was made and a large fusee chain of suitable strength was found. A single cock holds the month intermediate wheel. The pendulum has a kingwood rod with brass fittings. The large spring barrel is partly sunk into the Victorian base and housed in a fretted base plinth. The dome is also Victorian and is associated with the base. (There is a small crack at the back of the dome, near the base, but I find it not visible unless looked for). Our UK artist executed the moon and dial, with its night curtain.

Clock number 0901.
Pin Wheel table regulator with passing strike and Coup Perdu.
It is unusual for a regulator to have passing strike because of the slight friction involved. It was fitted to help fill the magnificent Victorian dome and I find no loss of timekeeping to the clock. Coup Perdue (lost beat) was added to show true seconds on the dial.
For the Clock Builders – The train is as follows: -

Clock number 9801
A traditional style Skeleton timepiece, with scroll frame, which 
was made for a customer in 1998. It has anchor escapement and regulation is controlled above the pendulum bob. After a few years the customer traded it in for a much more complex model. The customer’s name, on the dial, was replaced by a fictitious one.

Clock number 1201
A petite Arabesque Striking clock with traditional wheels. Full striking 
and one at the half hour and fitted with the option of Strike or Silent. The going train is dead beat and has maintaining power. A pendulum with inline regulation is fitted.The clock number is a deviation from my usual system as the wrong year was added.
The Brass bell in this clock is one of half a dozen I had Sand Cast with the outside polished. After Skimming the inside with an emery lap they tune up quite well. I can let some of these bells go at £37.50 each + P&P.
