The Lymington Grandmother Clock
The Lymington is a 20th century original design by Oakside Classic Clocks.
The Showroom display model Lymington Grandmother Clock is built in Solid Victorian Red Mahogany. It has been in our showroom for four years and is now offered at an unrepeatable clearance price.
The cabinet is hand-sanded to a fine finish and we then apply five coats of Hard Lacquer, this is allowed to harden before we polish the clock to a beautiful satin sheen. It has toughened glass to the pendulum door and bevelled glass to the side panels.
The Dial - Fitted with a solid brass moon phase dial with Arabic Brass numerals on a Silver chapter ring - it has an etched centre disk with a subsidiary second’s dial and cast brass corners spandrels.
The dial has two selection levers, these controls the Hour Chimes and the three melodies - Westminster, Whittington & St. Michael. The lever on the left controls the hourly chimes and can be set to provide - Silent, Automatic Night SilentOff (22-15 and 07.15) or Continuous Chiming. The lever on the right allows you to select Silent, any of the three melodies or Automatic Sequencing!
The Movement – To ensure your complete satisfaction we have fitted a brand new Kieninger KSU52 8-day mechanical movement, featuring Automatic melody sequencing of the three melodies! It has a Graham dead-beat escapement (invented by George Graham FRS 1674 – 1751) that impulses the Pendulum and as with all superior clock movements, the time drive is fitted with a “maintaining power” mechanism to drive the pendulum while the weights are being re-wound, a device is fitted to automatically provide an equal sounding tick and a Maltese Cross mechanism to prevent accidental over-winding..
The Pendulums – The Lymington is fitted with a Small Lyre Pendulum with a 220mm diameter polished Bob – you may specify the Temperature Compensating Pendulum (invented by John Harrison of Longitude fame 1693 – 1776).
Weight Shells. There are three polished brass weight shells - it is the gravitational pull on the weights that provides the motive power to drive the mechanisms of the movement.
