Feature Lot: Howard #61 Astronomical Regulator (From the original family)

The initial owner of this clock, A. F. Robertson, was a life long craftsman in the art of watch making. In 1861 (at the age of 16) he began to study watch making and engraving under Louis Spaulding, (formally with Waltham Watch Factory) in San Francisco, CA. He left California for St. Cloud, Minnesota 6 years later and founded his first jewelry business, A. F. Robertson – St. Cloud. The clock was purchased for this store, in the late 1860’s, and the front glass pane read A. F. Robertson. In 1907 he moved to Harlowton, Montana where he commenced the Robertson Jewelry Firm, settling down here until is death. Of his 4 sons, 2 took on the task to run the store, William A. with the help of Ralph L. (former mayor at Three Forks, MT). William changed the initials on the front glass from A. F. to W. A., which is how the clock shows today.  The family took meticulous care of the clock as it sat protected on a custom pedestal made to safeguard the clock in the store and kept a log of all the maintenance. This maintenance was continued and logged by William’s niece Betti, when he passed in 1971, and then by Betti’s daughter (the current owner) up to the present day.
