"Thomas Tompion is adulated by many collectors and people of the profession. He is, with George Graham and John Harrison, one of the great names of the English clock industry. What fascinates me about Tompion is that it was one of the pioneers in the realization of "technological monsters". His clocks approach a perfection, complexity and beauty seldom equaled. For example, this skeleton night clock, despite its limited size, has a one month power reserve, it sounds the hours and quarter, features a tick-tock escapement and is equipped with a system making it possible to read the time at night. Who can want more!" - Felix Baumgartner
