Hi Everyone, This eMail came to IHC World Headquarters the other day. Thought I'd post it for reference only. See what you think...


Dear Mr. Riddle,

As professional sharing your interest and love for time measuring devices all along the past centuries, I like to show you the picture of a rare unique piece that has a meaning for its historical-artistic stand. It is a nocturnal clock realized by an expert ebanist and clock builder around the second half of XVII century for, very likely, a member of the Chigi Family in Rome under the pontificate of Alexander VII.

This clock, as well as the others, are for sale. So you can also express your interest to buy it for you or for a person or institution you represent.

You can see the other clocks on this web site:

No Phil, I'm already over-extended on recent pocket-watch purchases. I even bought another one today! Cash flow? It's all out, wanna buy a watch or two?
