About this item
Early Victorian Boardroom Wall Clock with Fusee Movement. The photo underneath the clock is A4 (giving you scale).
The Fusee movement was cutting edge of its time (excuse the pun).
In 1430 Philip the Good (The Duke of Bergundy) had one and thereafter Jacob Zech from Prague in 1525 is recorded as making one.
Earliest evidence is from a cross bow as a fire ring mechanism - so likely even earlier.
Its all about keeping consistent pressure to keep the right time for 7 days, brilliant design!
