We are very privileged to have been instructed by Pat Oliver, a longstanding client, to sell his entire clock collection in our forthcoming Horological Auctions on Thursday 27th & Friday 28th October 2022. Pat is passionate about Horology and there are many outstanding clocks in the collection, but the stand out lot must be the only Lantern Clock generally acknowledged to have been made by Edward East, Clockmaker to Charles I of England (lot 1378)

We asked Pat to write a short biography about his lifetime and passion for Horology which is printed below.

I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in June 1942. Leaving school at the age of 15 an apprentice motor vehicle mechanic, which never materialised. I drifted on in different employments for a few years. My parents, as times were hard, for extra income had stalls at Camden Lock, Bermondsey Market and also Brick Lane selling antiques and bric a brac. As time went by I became interested in antiques and drawn into antiques myself. One day I purchased an old silver pocket watch, which was not working, I then had the idea of learning how to repair watches and clocks, which I began to appreciate.

In the 1970s I was living in Essex and I often took pocket watches into a clock/watch repairers in Coggeshall. I offered to help out at weekends, for no pay, unfortunately my offer was not accepted. About this time I saw the BHI correspondence course which I started for about a year. Then I noticed there were courses offered by the government better known as TOPS.

When I saw an advertisement for the government opportunity training scheme (TOPS), unfortunately, these courses no longer exist. Upon application I was told I the scheme was for unemployed people only. So this made me not eligible as I was employed. I explained I would give my notice in at work and apply to go on the scheme. The reply was I still was not eligible as I had given up my job and not made redundant or sacked. Even so, I kept persevering and still carried on applying to go on the course. Eventually they relented due to my determination and gave me the opportunity to attend a skill centre at Slough on a full time residential course lasting for one year. I obtained a 1st class pass for watch & clock repairs in theory and practical work. I understand this pass was equivalent to the old City & Guilds.

After finishing the course I was employed by Rotary watches. Eventually, I returned back to London and worked outside of the trade for a while but I continued to take a heavy interest in clock and watch restoration. I went to evening classes and also at weekends I had stands at well known antique fairs including Brunel and Birmingham Clock & Watch Fairs.

After a time I had the opportunity of opening a small clock and watch workshop, as my father-in-law had some workshop space in a property he owned. He saw how hard and committed I was to horology and the trade in general. So there I began my career of working on my own, being self employed. During this time I attended Hackney College giving myself day release to attend the Watch & Clock repair course. Eventually, with work bench experience and Hackney College papers I obtained the MBHI.

Later on my dear father-in-law gave me the opportunity to buy the freehold premises where I opened my shop as the 'Hendon Clock Centre'. I managed to expand my repair and restoration and also went onto sell antique and modern clocks.

Over the years I also had stands at the popular Watch & Clock Fairs and other antique markets. My wife and I managed to build up our much loved varied clock collection. Consisting of everything to do with Horology from low quality to high quality, from miniatures, carriage clocks, bracket clocks through to longcases. This has taken us over 35 years plus I was collecting even before my wife, Jackie, and I met. I am now 80 with various health problems and we feel it is time to slow down and allow others to enjoy our much loved clocks.

The above is just a small part of my life in the world of horology. Within our journey Jackie and I have met many interesting people, been to some lovely places and homes, celebrated many wonderful occasions, such as Westminster Abbey for the laying of the Harrison stone and the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich where we had luncheon and many more fond memories. We have also had a lot of fun and made many friends within the trade of horology.

We have bought many clocks which have been so large we had no idea where they would go. Somehow the clocks told us where they wanted to be and soon settled into our home quite comfortably.

My parents introduced by two brothers and sister into the antique world. My sister dealt in vintage clothing and my brothers had an antique and bric a brac shop. As a family we loved and appreciated antiques and still do.

14. Definitions and interpretation

In these conditions: (a) Reference to the ‘the Auctioneer’ shall be taken to mean the firm of Gardiner Houlgate or any director, partner or employee thereof at the time of sale; (b) Buyers shall be deemed to be the principals unless to the prior knowledge of the Auctioneer they are acting as agent on behalf of a named principal; (c) ‘Forgery’ means a lot (i) which is so constituted as deliberately to deceive when considered in the light of its catalogue description, and (ii) whose value as such is materially less that if it had complied with the catalogue description; (d) The Interpretation Act 1978 shall apply to the general construction of terms and expressions used in these Conditions as if contained in a statute.

15. Law and Jurisdiction

These Conditions of sale are subject to English law, which shall apply to their construction as well as their effect. The Seller and Buyer agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.

16. What is Temporary Importation?

Temporary Importation is a system that applies to lots which have been imported for sale from outside the EU. It allows the point of importation to be delayed until after the sale at auction.

These lots are indicated in catalogues by the use of the following symbol *

Only the Hammer Price will be treated as the import price and the Buyer’s Premium will be subject to UK domestic VAT at 20%. So whilst the Hammer Price will continue to be charged with Import VAT at 5% or 20” as appropriate, the Buyer’s Premium will always be charged with domestic VAT at 20%

Lots subject to Temporary Importation will be offered under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and will be subject to import VAT of either 5% or 20% on the buyer’s Premium. Anyone who wishes to buy outside the Margin Scheme should notify us immediately. An invoice under the normal VAT rules and charging VAT at 20% on both Hammer and Premium will then be issued

Temporary Importation should affect only private individual buyers who are resident within the EU. Anyone who is registered for VAT in the EU should be able to recover the VAT on the Buyer’s Premium either on their VAT returns or through the 8th Directive Refund Scheme. Any non-EU buyer who exports the lots from the EU will be able to have the VAT refunded provided the appropriate export regulations are complied with.

17. Property sold with a * Symbol

These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Gardiner Houlgate releases such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Gardiner Houlgate import VAT at 5% on the Hammer Price.

These lots will be invoiced under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme. Gardiner Houlgate must bear VAT on the Buyer’s Premium and hence charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this Premium. This amount will form part of the Buyer’s Premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified VAT registered buyers from the EU should note that the import VAT charged on property released in the UK cannot be cancelled or refunded by Gardiner Houlgate.

VAT registered buyers from the UK should note that the invoice issued by Gardiner Houlgate for these items is not suitable evidence in respect of import VAT.

VAT registered buyers from the EU countries may be able to seek repayment of the import VAT paid by applying to HM Revenue and Customs. On request, immediately after the sale, the office can either ask HM Revenue and Customs to generate a C79 certificate (for UK buyers), or obtain a copy of the import C88 (for other EU VAT registered buyers), which may be used to claim recovery of the VAT. Otherwise Gardiner Houlgate may re-invoice the lot and charge VAT at 20% on both the Hammer Price and the Premium and provide a tax invoice to the buyer.

18. CITES Restrictions

Any lots containing any amount of Brazilian rosewood and endangered species may be subject to restrictions when exporting outside of the EU. It will be the buyer’s responsibility to make sure that the relevant paperwork is in place before shipping.

Some lots are sold with CITES article 10 certificates, allowing the commercial use of an item containing an endangered species. Lots subject to this are marked in the catalogue

Import/Export

It is the buyer’s responsibility to obtain the correct import/export licenses and CITES licenses for items which they have purchased. Gardiner Houlgate take no responsibility for the export of goods

19. Gemstones

Many gemstones have been treated in various ways to enhance their appearance. For example, sapphires and rubies are routinely heat treated and emerald treated with oils and resins. Some stones may require re-treating or oiling periodically. Enhancement affects market value, and all Gardiner Houlgate estimates assume that gemstones may have been enhanced.

20. Artists Resale Rights (or Droit de Suite)

On certain lots marked in the catalogues and which are sold for a hammer price of 1000 Euros or greater (converted into the currency of the sale using The Design and Artists Copyright Society threshold calculator on the date of the Sale) the Additional Premium will be the percentage of the amount of t he hammer Price calculated as follows:

0-50,000 Euros 4% 50,000.01 to 200,000 3% 200,000.01 to 350,000 1% 350,000.01 to 500,000 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 0.25%
