A.R. Guilmet Mystery Wanduhr, GLT, SDGD, Brevete, 3157, ca. 1875, Rare Guilmet Mystery Wall Clock.
Maker: A. R Guilmet. Description: An exceptionally rare late 19th century wall mounted mystery clock by the noted maker A.R. Guilmet. In this version the statue is replaced with a beveled glass that is frosted and etched and fitted to a frame that is impulsed by the movement below. Case: The gilt-bronze case is composed of two elongated multi-piece tubular frames each adorned with decorative mounts. While the front frame is purely decorative, the rear oscillates and is an integral part of the timekeeping. Dial: The white porcelain dial has Roman numerals for the hours and steel-cut spade hands. The backside includes ‘3157’ in ink. The front was restored about 20 years ago. Movement: The eight-day time and strike movement has Guilmet’s detented escapement and is stamped on the backplate ‘GLT, SDGD, Brevete, 3157’ Suspended from the beveled glass panel is a multi-piece Guilmet pendulum with a split beveled bob. Notes: In 1874 A. R. Guilmet was granted a certificate of addition for his 1867 patent. The pendulum was now suspended from a glass plate, but was impulsed in the same way as the statue clocks. For a video of it running see: Guilmet Mystery Clock. Ref: For additional information on Guilmet see: ‘Mystery, Novelty and Fantasy Clocks’ by Roberts, Chapter 21, pg.241. For copies of his patents including the 1874 Certificate of Addition see: Roberts, Appendix 2, pg. 275. For a very rare mantle clock version incorporating the pendulum suspended from a plate glass see: Sothebys, Meraux Collection, 1993, lot 143 Size: Height - 29in.
