Horological, musical, scientific and photographic instruments of the highest quality are featured in this auction dedicated to the art of precision.
Not one but two ‘Atmos’ clocks by famous maker Jaeger-LeCoultre are on offer; these are always highly prized both for their ingenious mechanisms based on air pressure changes and their timelessly elegant aesthetics.
A fine Wheatstone 64 key concertina leads a selection of musical instruments with a celebrity twist being formerly owned by John Eaglesham of Scottish band The Clutha.
Finally, a good Hasselblad 501CM camera with Zeiss lens will capture the attention of photography enthusiasts with the firm being among the most respected camera makers of the 20th century.
