Carriage Timepiece with Triple Tourbillon

A highly unusual and complex timepiece, using the finest mechanical technology and innovations of the 20th century. The whole assembly revolves in three planes, two of which take 60 seconds to complete one revolution and the third taking 40 seconds.

The dial is signed Richard Good & Son, Seaford, Triple Tourbillon, Invenit et Fect 1979, No. 1.

The creation of this extraordinary clock was described and illustrated in The Horological Journal, April 1983, pp. 15-19. Seth Atwood, the owner of the Time Museum in Rockford, Illinois, was so impressed by this piece that he commissioned Richard and Timothy Good to make an eight-day marine chronometer with triple-axis tourbillon for the Time Museum. It is believed that these are the only two examples of triple tourbillon timepieces made by Richard Good and his son Timothy.
