The Swedish Mora clock first appeared in Sweden during the Gustavian Period in the mid-eighteenth century. Farmers in the Mora area wanted to look for ways to supplement their income. The villagers of Östnor just outside Mora, turned to traditional home crafts such as the making of clocks. This was essential work as the long frozen winter months restricted work to indoor activities. Each farming family specialized in a specific part: some made the brass clockworks, some painted the dials while others built or painted the cases. At the height of production more than 90 families were engaged in the trade and Mora functioned as one large clock factory. This traditional hand made craft eventually ceased when cheaper mass production clocks from America became available from the 1840's onwards.

The original two train movement with top mounted bell strikes the hour . The seconds dial above the main dial makes this a very rare and desirable clock. The overall design of the Hepplewhite case is very pleasing in it's neoclassical architectural elements typical of the quality of Irish Georgian cabinetmaker's skill and is in super condition.
An entry from The Londonderry Journal 1772-1784 lists James McElwee as a watchmaker and having a shop in Londonderry . He died 24 March 1778 leaving behind Mary and James McElwee to inherit the buiness.
