The antique Regulator clock was developed due to the need for an extremely accurate standard timekeeper by which other clocks could be set. Regulators were used in Observatories, large country houses, clock workshops and retailers premises.
Refinements to the movements included maintaining power, a spring device to keep the clock going whilst winding, jewelled movements, deadbeat escapement and sophisticated compensated pendulums.
Below are a selection of fine floor standing regulator clocks and wall hung regulator clocks.
