A pair of framed mixed-media artworks by Ammon of London, each featuring a horological collage depicting an iconic London landmark. The first piece illustrates St Pauls Cathedral and the second Westminster Abbey. Both compositions are constructed using a variety of salvaged watch and clock components, including brass and steel gears, balance wheels, date discs, and mainsprings. These elements are set against a black ground featuring gold-tone architectural outlines and inscriptions. Each piece incorporates a watch dial, with the brand name Excalibur visible on the Westminster Abbey example and Blancpain on the St Pauls Cathedral example. The artworks are inscribed in gold-tone script with their respective titles and the attribution By Ammon of London. Both are presented within green mounts featuring oval apertures and are housed in gilt-finished frames under glass.
