John Brockbank gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1769 and immediately took his brother, Myles, in as an apprentice who subsequently gained his freedom in 1776. The brothers entered into partnership in around 1780, working from an address at Cowper's Court, London, which continued until the death of John Brockbank in 1806. The Brockbank brothers employed Thomas Earnshaw who, by 1780, had produced two watches with 'detached escapements...' as well as developing his famous bimetallic compensation balance. Indeed, through the employment of the likes of Thomas Earnshaw, Robert Best and James Petto, the firm of Brockbanks became one of the most important makers of marine chronometers during the early post-Harrison era. In addition to marine chronometers Brockbanks also specialised in the making of clocks and watches for the Chinese and other export markets with several noted in Pagani, Catherine Eastern Magnificence and European Ingenuity: Clocks of the Late Imperial China. Amongst these was a 'magnificent Imperial gilt-bronze musical clock, signed by John Brockbanks and numbered No. 19 which formed part of a group ordered by a Guangdong official as a tribute to Emperor Qianlong; and a 'large gilt bronze vase of jewelled flowers set atop large rectangular base containing the clockface and having painted moving scenes, ca. 1770' by Brockbanks which is noted as being listed in Lu Zanzhen's Qinggong zhongbiao zhencang or Precious Collection of Qing Dynasty Palace Clocks on page 121.After the death of John, Myles Brockbank took brothers Samuel and Elliott Atkins into partnership consequently the firm became known as Brockbanks and Atkins from circa 1815. The present clock is unusual in that it plays tunes of Ottoman/Turkish origins rather than British compositions; and that the case has a japanned finish coloured to resemble red/brown tortoiseshell. The 'vine engraved' decoration to the backplate can be closely compared (except for the lack of a signature) to that of a clock by John Scott, London illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 361 (Figure 20.5).
