A Dutch burr-walnut longcase clock, engraved Theunis Haakma, Leeuwaerden, mid 18th century.  Eight-day movement with "Dutch strike" (striking the hour on one bell and the half hour on a smaller bell), with seconds bit, date aperture, moon dial, and alarm disc.  Engraved dial of various scenes in the arch, with gadroon engraving along the edge.   Pierced steel hands.
 
Condition:  Case in overall good condition, but with missing lenticle glass and the top dome is a reproduction.  The movement is clean and retains its original alarm mechanism.  The two upper dial posts have been re-soldered onto the plate.  Wear on painted portions of moon dial.

About the maker:
 
His full name was Theunis Sikkes Haakma, born and baptized in Leeuwarden on 3 November 1709, and he died there on 10 May 1785. He was a member of an important Leeuwarden family of clockmakers.
His father, Sikke Arents Haakma, was a clock setter/clockmaker in Leeuwarden, and his older brother Arent Sikkes Haakma (1702–before 1765) succeeded their father as keeper of the city's Nieuwe Toren clock in 1732. 
 
Arent and Theunis worked together until 1755, initially from their premises in the Koningsstraat, Leeuwarden, and signed some work “A & T Haakma.” They were evidently substantial makers: a contemporary 1754 advertisement describes a watch made by “A. en T. Haakma, horlogemakers te Leeuwarden.”
 
In 1755 they separated their businesses. Theunis moved to the Eewal, between the Minnemastraat and Groenmarkt. His advertisements are unusually revealing because they tell us what he actually sold: standing clocks, musical table clocks, marine/sea clocks, watches, etc.  
 
In 1757 he established himself on the Oranje-Eewal, where his shop offered standing clocks with and without musical work, table clocks, watches, chains and other horological goods.  He was also a man of considerable standing in Leeuwarden society: he was elected a schepen (alderman/judicial officer) in 1769, and held the position intermittently until his death in 1785.
 
Theunis wasn't merely an obscure provincial clockmaker. Leeuwarden was one of the important centers of longcase-clock production in Friesland, and the Haakma family was one of its significant clockmaking families. Christie's explicitly describes Leeuwarden as one of the most important Frisian centers for the production of longcase clocks.
 
The Nieuwe Encyclopedie van Fryslân specifically notes that the Fries Museum possesses a standing clock by Theunis Haakma with trumpeting angels on the hood.
