Original Description:
RARE 1835 Arnold & Dent Marine Nautical Ship Chronometer Clock 19th Century. Box measures 6” SquaredPlease look at All Photographs as they are an accurate and detailed description on this items actual current condition. I am not knowledgeable At All about chronometers but what I do know is this.There are some accessories missing like the “708” button on the front (pictured) as well as the hinge hardware on the sides used for carrying. There is one key inside the box for winding b...ut I do not have the key for the bottom lock. The chain inside looks intact but has slipped loose so a repair would need to happen to make it run. I was told by a local collector that all of these minor issues can be addressed and replaced for pretty little investment. If restored, this item will be worth 5 times what I am asking for it. I’m pretty confident that the dial is Sterling Silver from the patina and the quality and reputation of Arnold and Dent Clocks. Christie’s Auction House sold a complete and working A&D No. 708 Nautical Chronometer for $12, 000.00 three years ago. That Christie’s Auction listing was the ONLY 708 model I have been able to find anywhere online. From Smithsonian Website:This instrument is a specialized timekeeper designed for finding longitude at sea. Its form is that of the standardized 19th-century marine chronometer. John Roger Arnold, son of chronometer maker John Arnold, and Edward John Dent (1790-1853) were in business together from 1830-1840 at 84 Strand, London. Charles Frodsham took over Arnold’s business after Arnold’s death in 1843. E. J. Dent, who had started making chronometers in 1814, continued in business until his death, when others continued the firm under various names and at various addresses. The business continues today.Please contact me with any questions or if you have more information on this particular model. Buyer pays All shipping costs to his or her location from Palm Springs, CA via USPS. Thank You for Looking!
