A clock in bits was the surprise performer at the recent Chilcotts Auctioneers Fine Arts, Antiques and Collectors Items sale in Honiton.
The clock, more correctly known as a chronometer, was made by important clock makers ‘Kelvin, White and Hutton’. It came from a Mid-Devon family, and was a treasured family heirloom - until they decided to restore it.
The chronometer was taken to a clock restorer, who dismantled it but was unable to put it back together again. He returned the piece to them in bits, together with a note saying he could not reassemble it - and that he was...
