This is perhaps the most rare of all clocks made by the Gazo Family Clock Factory. We called Ed Gazo to check and he said there were around one hundred of these solid walnut clocks made. Ed said the clock was extremely difficult to build, which also limited the number that they were actually able to produce. This one-owner clock was serial number ninety-nine (99) in the sequence.

The upper photo to the left is a file photo as our consignor sent us photos of the "sections" of the clock but not one of the full-length from the front view. He is presently out of town so this is all we can offer in the way of photos, but they cover the clock well. The other photos in the left column, below, and in the links in the table below are of this actual clock, but we wanted you to be able to get the gestalt of the clock, thus the photo immediately to the left.

The clock was featured on the front of the May 1984 Watch and Clock Review magazine, Vol 51, No. 5. We have tried to locate this publication without success. If someone reading this has it we would love to have a hi-res scan.

This is an interesting clock. If you look at the catalogue pictures of the San Gabriel model in the Gazo article in our extensive clock Reference Library, you will quickly note that the top gothic-designed part of this clock is the same basic design as that shelf or "bracket" clock. Looking further at the La Valencia model (which, like this one we've never seen with our own eyes except in photos), you will find the same gothic design repeated in a really rare 67" wall clock.

The same limited production case was previously sold with traditional Gazo etched brass weights as the "San Juan Capistrano" model (though the anniversary editions also had the SJC moniker in the serial number). The Anniversary Edition had unique and distinctive six-piece weights, and a beautiful etched brass lyre pendulum. The weights differ from any other Gazo clock we've ever seen. Actually, we've never seen the anniversary model face-to-face, though we have seen the San Juan Capistrano with conventional weights.

The original dealer catalogue described this clock as,"A graceful stately clock elegantly styled in the Gothic architecture from solid walnut wood, features an etched solid brass dial with porcelain Roman numerals, a solid brass etched pendulum bob, and a triple chime cable-wound german movement. Its classic beauty is enhanced by the beveled glass found throughout the clock."

The dial, weights and the cast-brass pendulum bob are original and in excellent physical condition with a nice patina.

Mechanical: The eight-day, triple-chime, cable-wound movement (Westminster, Whittington, St Michael's chimes) was just professionally serviced in our technician's shop and is in excellent running order, ready for years of great service in your home or office. It has a deep, resonant tone, not "clangy" at all. People who visit here are drawn immediately to this clock!

Comments: This is as good as it gets for a Gazo clock. It will definitely command attention in any setting where it is placed. Will that be the entry of your home, or in the lobby of your business (where we placed another Rancho Santa Fe model recently). Wherever you choose for it to go it will be a glorious addition to the room... but we'll miss it here!

Over the years we have had and sold many Gazo Family Clock Factory models in most styles, wood, and finish in which they were made. But the Scottsdale is a seldom-seen model. This one is number 189 in their manufacturing sequence (s/n SDR/189/A). This stately clock was patterned after the E. Howard Regulator No. 57 from the 1889 catalogue that would be worth around $75k today, if you could even find one. The similarity of design is amazing... but ours is a little less expensive!

Physical: The hand-carved alder case with English walnut finish measures 22.5"w x 77"h x 10"d and is in excellent overall condition. Note the full turned and fluted columns that flank the trunk door, and the detailed carving that was the hallmark of Gazo clocks. It has just been thoroughly cleaned and polished and is in showroom condition. The brass standoffs that you see protruding from the lower sides have the original knurled knobs (but which are in a plastic bag at the moment and not in the photo).

The glass is beveled and also features the original "Scottsdale Regulator" lettering, unique amongst Gazo clocks. The signed porcelain dial measures 13" in diameter with a 60-beat second's bit. It is original to the clock and in excellent physical condition. The pendulum and weight are original to the clock.

Mechanical: The eight-day, single-weight, time-only movement has just been professionally cleaned/serviced by our technician and is in (shiny) excellent running order. This is the only Gazo model on which there was an electronic beat-regulator on the movement as it came from the factory. The purpose is to make the clock run as accurately as practical. There are three "C" cells that provide power to the two pulsing electromagnets. You can see them in the photo of the movement behind the dial. This is a weight-driven clock and it has been our experience with the two prior Scottsdales in our possession that the movement also does a great job all by itself!

Comments: Several people have asked about the pendulum drop on this model. The clock case does not have a bottom, nor did it ever when shipped from the factory. The pendulum will drop down into the base, at which point it will run out of cable and stop, ready to be wound every eight days or so. If there were a bottom inside the clock (for which someone inquired), the clock would still run fine. When the weight reaches either the end of the length of the cable or resistance, like a bottom or even the floor, it will stop. Not a problem: just re-wind and away you go. This clock is a great runner, presently hanging on the family room wall in our home.

We sold the last one of this model for $3,450, but got a little bit better purchase price on this one, so have passed the savings on to you. Been looking for a majestic big wall clock that with understated elegance? Then this would be the Gazo clock for you – not an ounce of garishness here – it's just stately. Give us a call to make it your own.

Shipping: Wewill arrange blanket-wrap moving for you with one of our reliable carriers. There is lots of positive feedback from our clients on our Testimonials page. The other option would be for you to come and pick up the clock directly from us. With the crown off, it's 64.5" high and fits easily on one side in the back of an Explorer.
