Das Gutachten in Auszügen:

A Bracket Clock in a case attributed to David Roentgen or workshop Neuwied ca. 1780-1795, signed Bizen A. Ordingen.

In the course of the last 2 decades a small number of bracket clocks have come to light that are either signed by Roentgen and/or Kinzing on the dial, or can be definitely attributed to the workshops of the cabinetmaker family Roentgen or the clockmaker family Kinzing. The case of this clock in the neoclassical Roentgen style has all the typical characteristics: the concentrically stepped gilt brass roundels, the dentil frieze, the fluting filled half way along with brass rods, the surmounting neoclassical urn, the chamfered gilt brass surfaces on the base and the use of mahogany veneer. As none of the known clock cases made in the Roentgen workshops were signed or marked by the maker it is impossible to attribute the work to one individual craftsman. lt may also have been produced by a successor who learnt his trade in Neuwied, although the dating of the movement and dial alone can be narrowed down to the last 2 decades of the eighteenth century even
though almost nothing is known about the clockmaker himself named on the dial. (...)

Other clocks signed by Bizen in Ordingen are as yet unknown. Ordingen is today known as Uerdingen and is part of the city of Krefeld some 140 kilometres north of Neuwied on the Rhine. However, another clockmaker, Hermann Christoph Langerhans (1754- 1839) working in Krefeld from around 1783 is known to have learnt his trade in Neuwied with Kinzing and made a number of important clocks in the manner of Kinzing including musical clocks (one in the Stadtmuseum in Cologne). Langerhans also made bracket clocks in neoclassical cases reminiscent of those signed by or attributed to Roentgen and Kinzing. Whether there was a connection between Bizen and Langerhans remains speculative. In the German horological listings (Jürgen Abeler, Meister der Uhrmacherkunst, 2010) a clockmaker Bizen in Ordingen is not recorded. However, a clockmaker Heinrich Bitzen (the difference in spelling is negligible) in Königswinter is recorded with a clock dated 1777 (Königswinter is 40km north of Neuwied on the Rhine). According to the marriage records in Uerdingen (Ordingen) an Antonius Bitzen from ‘Honeff’ (today Bad Honnef in the immediate vicinity to Königswinter) married Anna Margaretha Reiglers in 1771. The surname of
Bizen/Bitzen is rare and is only otherwise to be found among clockmakers recorded by Abeler in connection with a widow in Cologne in the first half of the nineteenth century. Whether Heinrich Bitzen and Antonius Bitzen were related again remains speculative, but highly probable. (...).
