Mechanical clocks were among the most prized tributary gifts given to Chinese courtiers and ultimately to Emperors of the late Ming (1368 – 1644) and Qing dynasty (1644 – 1911), who were impressed by the West's technological prowess and as a result, allowed European emissaries access to China. The Emperor Qianlong (1736 – 1795) amassed possibly the largest collection of watches and clocks with his voracious appetite for Western horological treasures during his reign; and commissioned Chinese-made clocks crafted in the Imperial Palace workshops in Guangzhou. According to a conservator at the Palace Museum, Beijing, there are "nearly 1,600 timepieces in the collection of The Palace Museum – all hailing from the Qing dynasty" with some items kept in their temperature-controlled basement storage.1RECENTLY DISCOVERED MASTERPIECE BY HENRY BORRELLThe present magnificent clock is made by famous English Master clockmaker Henry Borrell (1794 – 1840), who is known for his decorative and exquisitely crafted export market clocks made for the Chinese and Turkish markets. Henry Borrell was a London Master watch and clockmaker whose address was registered at 15 Wilderness Row (1795-1840). The centre seconds hand was extremely popular at that time, as was the ting-tang quarter striking system whereby every fifteen-minute interval is struck on two bells and hammers, powered by the strike train. The chased and engraved ormolu decorated case, further accented by cast foliate mounts and outswept feet are characteristic of Henry Borrell's clocks made for the Chinese Imperial market. The shutter lifts to reveal an automata scene of painted metal sailing ships moving in two directions amidst spiralling glass rods simulating sea waves. Recently discovered in a Japanese private collection, this important and magnificent Henry Borrell clock offers a new audience of collectors the chance to revel upon an automata scene of ships riding on glass 'waves' and listen to the musical and quarter striking chimes, once again marvelling in its beauty and technical complexity like Emperor Qianlong would have.
