About: Most Expensive Antique Clocks Sold at Auction (All Time)
Overview of the data behind this chart
Antique and historical clocks ranked by hammer price at public auction in millions of USD. Thomas Tompion's bracket clock from around 1680 — one of the most important surviving examples by the father of English clockmaking — sold at Christie's London for £1.96 million in 2009. However, imperial Chinese clocks and automata from the Qing dynasty have driven the most extraordinary prices at Asian auction houses, where royal provenance and automaton mechanisms command premiums that European antique dealers rarely achieve.
