- Peacock clock horloge du paon Ermitage museum St Petersburg 18th made by James Cox an english clock maker and sold to Potemkin (favorit of the queen Cahterine the great) in spare parts. It took 9 years for a russian mecanic Ivan Kulibin to put them up together again. Well worth it. It works only once a year during the withe nights in June to preserve the mechanism so you have very few chance to see it work. But what a treat then !
Made of guilded bronze silver & glass, height 3 meters. The dial of the clock is into the head fo the mushroom with a dragonfly moving on top (at the foot of the tree)
Horloge crée par james Cox un horloger anglais et vendue en pièces détachées à Potemkin faroris de la grande Catherine. Un mécanisien russe Ivan Kulibin mis 9 ans a la remonter , elle ne fonctionne qu'un fois par an en Juin durant les nuits blanches pour préserver son mécanisme. C'est le seul grand automate du 18th qui nous soit parvenu en état de marche. Une merveille un peu grande pour mettre dans le salon de Mr tout-le-monde, mais quel régal de la voir fonctionner. Fait en bronze doré, argent & verre, hauteur 3m. Le cadran de l'horloge est dans la tête du champignon avec une libellule sur le dessus qui bouge également (au pied de l'arbre)
I ve just discovered a new automaton working every day at 2 pm, made by James Cox the Silver Swan in North of England Bowes Museum. Type Silver swan automaton & see some videos ont the subject
Je viens de découvrir un nouvel automate en état de marche fait aussi par James Cox le cygne d'argent au nord de l'Angleterre Bowes Museum. tapez Silver swan automaton pour voir les qlq vidéos sur ce sujet
According to a comment its plays now every wednesday around 13 PM. Selon un commentaire on peut le voir fonctionner maintenant chaque mercredi vers 13heures
Exactly! Faberge did his incredible beautiful egg with the concept of this clock in mind.
I had the incredible fortune of visiting the State Hermitage museum recently (while traveling to Russia) and witness this amazing work of art. Unfortunately, the clock only runs a couple of times a year, so I didn't have a chance to see it operating...but it's so jaw-droppingly beautiful that I'd blow Putin in a second for a chance to watch this marvel strike the hour live.
Russia is a place of unbelievable beauty and mystery. Regardless of what you may feel about their politics, it's a country one has to witness in this lifetime.
As i mentionned it is not arussian artifact mais all the same a russian clockmaker is still doing the maintenance and keeps it in working order. A real beauty worth the trip but not only Russia is a country full of marvels. We did not see everthing we wanted but at least we saw the main cities of the European side, to see next Siberia and far east
"I'd blow Putin" got me ☠️👏😭
Went there today. Absolutely beautiful, very impressive. One of the 10,000 things I liked at my visit to the Hermitage........!
i am glad you had this opportuniy, for my part i did not know about this wonderful clock before. So it was a real discovery for me and indeed so much to see in the Hermitage, you can spend hours threre
The same guy made the Silver Swan in the Bowes museum Co. Durham. I believe those two are the only pieces of his work remaining. I think the peacock plays on 21st June each year. Something to do with Catherine the Great as I believe it's her peacock. Amazing, beautiful piece of engineering. 😀
Yes you are quite right , i saw the silver swan in a youtube video too. It is very difficult to know exactly when it is possible to see it working, some said every wednesday ? it must change probably
Thanks for your visit
This evening I had a lecture by Mr.Ian White about the Clockmaker JAMES COX (not Cook). I think also you have to add behind 18th . . . . . the word CENTURY. Such great art deserves a correct story. I had the opportunity in the eighties to see it working: fantastic. Thank you for this film, because in those days you were not allowed to make pictures or films. Elise
They really missed a trick not calling it a "Peaclock"
indeed except that in russian (tchasi pavlin) it does not work
saw it at Hermitage visiting St Petersburg some time ago. the whole museum is worth seeing but this clock was just BREATH TAKING!!!
The design of the clock, with the peacock, perched up on a tree reminds me of one of Faberge's eggs, the one with the mechanical, detachable pacock.
Wow! Thank you, what a treat!
It works every Wednesday at 13.00 :)
That peacock clock is remarkable, with the golden peacock, rooster, and owl, although a bit eerie. You can jump to about 46 seconds to get to the clock.
What a bird! Proud as! Thank you for posting.
Thanks i am glad you enjoyed it
Omg absolutely beautiful and just so amazing!
i am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting
Cet horloge du paon de l'Imperatrice Catherine produit par James Cox est merveilleux!!!!
Magnífico ,parabéns pelo vídeo ❤️
But it is english made although it is now in Russia now. There is a lot of wonderful things in Russia and i don't regret our trip there and i am even ready to go back there to see other places we did not visit
I don't know who copied who since the clock was in the collection of Catherine the queen in 1797 and the egg of Fabergé was delivered in 1908. So i suppose Faberge saw the automaton and created something similar with the egg (it is my guess). But both are great works, the very big one and the small one, a treat for the eyes
@etrax2000 i suppose yes but it is made of guilded bronze, and restoration of such a masterpiece must cost a lot of money and rather delicate because of the mechanism and as you know museum are always short of money. But as it is i still think it is a miracle it made it from 1770 up to now, remember it is the only huge automaton left from this time.
So whimsical! Love it
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your visit & comment
thanks for visiting again Tagzee
that is magnificent. this was the great queen who built furnitures resplendent with various imageries of human genitalia, I shouldn't be surprised if she also commissioned a clock this grand.
in fact yes it was his lover Potemkine who bought it for her in parts in England. It had to be reassembled in Russia which took some time 9 years
remyposees ...so you're meant to say that this clock wasn't sent to Russia as it is now, but with all the separate pieces disassembled? The nuts, bolts, and gears; the individual feathers and leaves; the tree barks and woodland critters... You meant all that needed to be assembled IKEA-style for years beforehand??!
yes exactly but at this time they took their time & contrary to Ikea they had no notice. The guy you assembled it was a king genius of mechanism. Reead my description under the video. It is all explained there
wonderful video!!!
Cool video. 😀
Beyond imaginations
well as said in my comment, it works only once a year in June during the white nights to preserve the mechanism, with my video you can see it whenever you want ! good luck to be able to be at the right time with not to many people around whot the same as you !
Incredible!
thanks brigitte i am glad you appreciated it
Tecnología inglesa del siglo XVIII... increíble y precioso.
Awesome
Prawdziwe cuda.
I am no mechanic but i suppose the same way as music boxes work,.as a clockwork device, a metal disk or cylinder rotating and the sound is produced by means of pins & comb.It is a supposition. In these times the cylinders were removable and so you could change the tunes,, I would have like to know too but nobody was there able to do that when we visited
Ein Meisterwerk! Und in echt noch viel schöner! War gerade im September da (mit 8.000 Chinesen im l´Hermitage)
yes indeed, did you see it works ? i don't know now when it works i think it is only once a week
@@remyposees yes, only on Wednesday it works!
Its incredible!
yes it is a great discoery for me too
yes it is in the mushroom and you don't see it very well. But i saw your cuckoo clocks very nice too but on another scale. you are a real clock lover so no surprise you fell for this magnificient peacock clock as i did. Have a nice TIME
You are right i did not realized the mispelling of the name and as for 18th no need to add centurey since it is so evident. I had an article on the story of this wonderful clock but Cook is more famous hence probably the mistake
Thanks for your comment & i am glad you enjooyed it
ive been watching a series on the museum..and am completely mesmerized by its majesty..i really want to go one day..does anyone know the bells are playing by any chance?
impresionante =)
Muito lindo, parabéns.
thanks for watching, i am glad you enjoyed it
que lindo tanta belleza que hay que conocer veramente bello
gracias por su visita si es una maravilla
@Tollinik i agree there is a lot of thinking behind this work thanks for your comment
@etrax2000 i agree with you but unless you are Bill Gates or Rockefelfer few individual could afford to buy them and pay the maintenance costs too, and then you would not be allowed anymore to see them they would be private properties. That is why they are better in a museum for everybody to see of course the musuem is supposed to maintain it properply (which is not always the case unfortunately) remember too that as a citizen you pay with your taxes the maintenance of such works of art
@Alleykatt500 I agree, i did not even know it exist. It was a total discovery so i though it should be shown to everybody for them to enjoy such a work of art. I wish i could have such a pretty clock in my living room chiming the hours like this one but may be a bit smaller
Wonderful
thanks for watching
remyposees You're welcome. Such a piece of work cannot stay uncommented 😀.
wow
@nemielas well i thought the same but could not find a good record of it on RUclips, mine although not perfect is the best i could found up to now so that is why i posted it. Everybody should be able to see such an achievement and since it works only once a year you'll very few chances to see it for yourself in the museum
Ml Studios bring me here
thanks for uour visit
Que relogio!!!!
Thanks Fred for watching
I wonder how it survived wars and revolutions?
it must have been hidden like many treasures of the museum in war times, every country does that. I suppose of course
Really? Have you ever seen this amazing clock?
Every Wensday in summer time?
@Lumpenherz danke ihnen, i bin froh das dieses video hat dir gefällt i habe ihre videos auch über das ermitage museum gesehen und die sind gut, es war ein vergnügen
that rooster will haunt my dreams
also is that background music a garageband loop
thanks for watching
remyposees -_- that's all you can say
well what else can i say I ho pe you enjoyed it since it is the purpose of this post
the one who did not like it, it is may be because at the end the video is not perfect, but it is the best up to now i have seen on youtube so that why i posted it. Something was missing
It's GREAT, that said - for all the pomp & circumstance - where does it tell you the time???
+Al in SoCal on the little dial on the mushroom head with a dragonfly on top at the foot of the tree. Look at the video and you'll see it. It works perfectly and chimes the hours as heard in the video. All is already explained in my comments
Так и не поняла когда их заводят в среду или в четверг.
👑🧐🤔
Мы здесь бы в чера
Thanks for your visit a wonderful thing to see
Spooky!
Просто не реальный механизм. Это ж каким мышлением надо обладать.....
Made in England.
yes i f you read the explananations . Thanks for your last visit
A singing rooster.
Yes but man made a big difference, thanks for your visit
@@remyposees Of course it did, which is why I made the comment. :)
赤貝
Я один русский?
thanks since you are russian you understand the comments
Не,не один,нас миллионы!
@etrax2000 "Thousands of churches in Russia are falling apart" you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, in my small city they've restored & build like 5 new churches I wish they spent those money a new hospital instead of another church no one cares about except old grannies
i think all grannies who believe in god must have their church, and people need an hospital too. To erase or not restoring churches is as stupid as to build 5 churches in a small city; the body & soul must be equality taken into account. For my part i am no believer but i think that cultural heritage must be preserved it is part of each country's history and is very important.
