2005: Master minute repeater Antoine LeCoultre

To create a sound of unprecedented beauty, a gong in a secret alloy developed by the Manufacture is fixed to the sapphire glass protecting the dial. When the hammers hit the gongs, the vibrations are directly transmitted to the glass, producing a sound of crystalline purity.

Carrying on the 19th century tradition of complications, the nickel silver calibre has a platinum three-quarter bridge with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s exclusive sunray stripes decoration. Two barrels provide 15 days’ running time for this limited edition of 200 in tribute to the Manufacture’s founder.

The proprietors Father and Son, John and Mark Coxhead have a combined passion for collecting clocks and have turned their dream into a very successful business dealing in quality restored clocks. This family business established 18 years ago is located from a pretty 19th century shop in the Kings Road, Chelsea, London. This prestigious area is world renowned for fine quality antique shops and fine art galleries.

Mark and John have been selling and restoring clocks for the last 18 years and because they have a large amount of stock always for sale in their showroom they see a big cross reference of antique clocks having restored their own showroom clocks as well as customers clocks. They restore the clocks for the British Home Office and for the Royal Lifeguards, Hyde Park. We are also proud to have sold clocks to members of the British Royal Family.

All their clocks are restored by themselves and come with a full years guarantee in the UK. They also stock a wide selection of carriage and wall clocks ranging from unusual English station wall clocks to fine Regency period drop dial clocks.  Also they carry a variety of interesting French period carriage clocks ranging from simple timepieces to repeaters. All their carriage clocks have the original platform escapements and not replacement modern ones.
