S Michlmayr & Co Ltd: The Gurney Clock

and the additional automata, took eleven years to complete and were originally housed in an open park. Sadly by 1992 the clock had been so badly vandalised it was in danger of destruction - the case was boarded up and the precious regulator sent to the British Horological Institute for safe keeping. In 1993 the Norwich Society, together with Simon Michlmayr, orchestrated the six year campaign to 'Save the Clock', which was vindicated when the restored clock was unveiled in a secure place in the Castle Mall in February 1999.	Involved at every stage of this project from the campaign to completion we collaborated on the restoration of the automata with a firm for computer controls and made the new dials, motion works, central bevel and drive units. We are proud to have worked together with a diverse team of people, who all pulled together to rescue this matchless timepiece. Contact us direct for detailed information.
