Sinclair Harding in Cheltenham have been combining traditional English clockmaking and modern technology since 1967; their description of this fine timepiece says: "Probably the most elegant of all the clocks made by Sinclair Harding is this 'Table Regulator'. The case is made from solid patinated bronze and is extremely heavy. The dial is pure 'Breguet' with its large diameter seconds and slim chapter ring. Engraved and silvered by hand, it represents the high point of elegant simplicity in dial design. The Escapement is a Sinclair Harding modification of the fascinating six-legged gravity escapement - a version of which controls the worlds most successful Tower Clock - 'Big Ben'."
