In Greek mythology, Helios was often depicted as a handsome and radiant god driving a chariot across the sky each day, bringing light and warmth to the world. He was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia and was revered as one of the Titans himself. Helios was associated with various aspects of the sun, including its daily journey, its life-giving energy, and its ability to illuminate the heavens and the earth.In Roman mythology, Helios was known as Sol, and his attributes and characteristics closely mirrored those of his Greek counterpart. As Sol Invictus, the "Unconquered Sun," he was worshipped as a powerful and invincible deity, particularly during the Roman Empire. The cult of Sol Invictus gained prominence during the late Roman Republic and reached its zenith under Emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD, when Sol became an official state god and was celebrated with lavish festivals and ceremonies.Helios/Sol was often depicted in art and literature as a majestic figure crowned with a radiant halo or aureole, riding a chariot pulled by fiery steeds across the sky. He was sometimes portrayed with a golden sun disc or a radiant solar crown, symbolizing his divine power and authority over the sun. Temples and shrines dedicated to Helios/Sol were erected throughout the Greco-Roman world, where worshippers paid homage to the sun god through prayers, offerings, and rituals.

A FINE GEORGE III ENGRAVED GOLD AND BASSE-TAILLE ENAMEL PAIR-CASED CYLINDER POCKET WATCH THOMAS MUDGE AND WILLIAM DUTTON, LONDON, 1773The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and cylinder escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with faceted diamond endstone, herringbone bordered rim and grotesque mask at the junction with wedge-shaped leafy scroll engraved foot flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Tho: Mudge, W. Dutton, London and numbered 979, with gilt brass dust cover similarly signed Tho: Mudge, W. Dutton, London, with slightly later circular white enamel Arabic numeral dial with vertically aligned numerals and gold arrow hands, the inner case with suspension post with bow at twelve o'clock, the outer case engraved and parcel cobalt blue enamel decorated with floral spray within oval panel and tied-ribbon and leafy-spray inhabited surround within white heighted repeating lozenge outer border, with conforming border to bezel and bright-cut mouldings to circumference, marks for London 1773, maker PM possibly for Peter Mounier.The pillar plate 3.6cm (1.375ins) diameter; the outer case 4.8cm (1.875ins) diameter. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Purchased from Malcolm Gardner, Sevenoaks, 29th August 1967 for £265. Thomas Mudge was born in Exeter, Devon in 1717 and was apprenticed to George Graham before setting himself up in business at 151 Fleet Street, London in 1748. At around the time of the death of his former Master in 1751, Mudge was joined in partnership by a fellow former apprentice of Graham, William Dutton, who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1738 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1746.The business subsequently traded from 148 Fleet Street and Mudge, whilst in partnership with Dutton, rapidly acquired a reputation as one of England's outstanding watchmakers. In around 1755, if not earlier, Mudge invented the detached lever escapement, which he first applied to a clock, but when incorporated into a watch became the greatest single improvement ever applied to them.In 1765 Mudge published the book, Thoughts on the Means of Improving Watches, Particularly those for Use at Sea, and the following year, alongside Dutton, was elevated to Liveryman. In around 1771 Thomas Mudge retired to Plymouth in order to spend more time to pursue his development of a marine timekeeper. The first of these went on trial in 1774 where it performed superbly leading to an award of 500 guineas. Mudge went on to complete two others in 1779 in the continuing attempt to satisfy the increasingly difficult requirements set by the Board of Longitude. They were tested by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne, and declared as being unsatisfactory. There followed a controversy in which it was claimed that Maskelyne had not given them a fair trial. A similar controversy had arisen when John Harrison had been denied the full amount of the 1714 prize by the Board of Longitude. Eventually, in 1792, two years before his death, Mudge was awarded £2,500 by a Committee of the House of Commons who decided for Mudge and against the Board of Longitude, then headed by Sir Joseph Banks.In around 1775 Dutton took both his sons (Thomas and Matthew) into the business forming a second partnership of William Dutton and Sons however the name Mudge and Dutton was often still used (mainly for watches) up to around 1790. William Dutton died in 1794 leaving the business to be continued very much in his tradition by his sons Thomas and Matthew. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).An essentially identical movement to the present lot, also by Mudge and Dutton (number 1207 dated to 1781) but retaining original dial and gold pair-cases and benefitting from single family ownership since new, was sold in these rooms on 6th October 2021 (lot 225) for £9,000 hammer. Peter Mounier was a specialist maker of engraved and enamelled watch cases who is believed to have worked form circa 1761. Condition Report: Movement is in fine original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The gilding to the escapewheel appears to be mostly rubbed/cleaned off (hence perhaps could be a 'service replacement') otherwise gilding to wheelwork, backplate etc exhibits next to no wear/scratching. The dust cover is in very fine original condition. As catalogued the dial is a slightly later replacement (circa 1800) but is in fine condition with no visible damage. The inner case is in fine condition with no discernible denting or notable scratching. The outer case has some small losses to the enamel infill (most notably to the leafy spray infill to the left-hand side) and overall light wear. The clasp release button is worn/dented otherwise appears to be in fine original condition.Watch has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Purchased from Malcolm Gardner, Sevenoaks, 29th August 1967 for £265. George Graham was born in around 1673 in Kirklinton, Cumberland, but by 1688 he had moved to London and entered into an apprenticeship with Henry Aske. Graham gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1695 and went to work for Thomas Tompion, whose niece, Elizabeth, he married at St. Mary le Bow in September 1704. After the Tompion's failed partnership with Edard Banger Graham was trusted to become his successor with the two makers entering into a formal a partnership in 1711. On Tompion's death in 1713 George Graham inherited the business 'on the corner of Water Lane in Fleet Street' and continued there until 1720 when he relocated to 'the Dial and One Crown' further up Fleet Street, nearer Fleet Bridge.George Graham maintained the same exacting standards as his former master and also continued the serial numbering system established in around 1680/81. In 1722 he served as Master of the Clockmakers' Company and went on to establish himself as one of the most important clockmakers of his generation. Amongst his achievements was the further development of the deadbeat escapement, invention of the mercury compensated pendulum and the cylinder watch escapement. As well as clocks and watches George Graham was also a highly accomplished maker of scientific instruments with perhaps his most famous creation being the planetarium made for Charles Boyle, Earl of Orrery. He also produced the great mural quadrant for Edmund Halley at Greenwich observatory, also a fine transit instrument and the zenith sector used by James Bradley in his discoveries. Through his observations in testing his very highly regarded compasses Graham also discovered the diurnal variation in the terrestrial magnetic field in 1722/23.George Graham also became an ardent supporter of John Harrison in the development of his marine chronometers to the extent that he forwarded an interest free private loan of £200 to Harrison to facilitate the building of H1. George Graham died in 1751 and was buried next to his former master in Westminster Abbey, leaving the business in the hands of a former apprentices, Samuel Barclay and Thomas Colley. George Graham's legacy is perhaps best reflected by the subsequent work of another former apprentice, Thomas Mudge, who went on to continue in the development of the marine chronometer after Harrison, and to invent the lever watch escapement. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century). George Graham's faith in this new design of escapement was such that he incorporated it into all of his watches from around 1725/6 (between serial numbers 5175 and 5182). The present lot is a fine relatively early example of a Graham cylinder watch in fine condition complete with finely worked heavy outer repousse case. Condition Report: The watch is in fine clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements however it is possible that the escapewheel and cylinder may be 'service' replacements. The mechanism retains its gilt finish with minimal wear and with other faults limited to a couple of small scratches to the backplate. The dust cover is in fine condition. The dial appears to be in perfect condition including the hands which are vey finely made. The inner case is in fine original condition with minimal wear and no discernible denting. The outer case has some slight wear to the high spots to the rear cover otherwise in in fine original condition.Gross weight 133g. Watch has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A GEORGE II GOLD PAIR-CASED VERGE POCKET WATCHHUNTER, LONDON, 1734The gilt full plate fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm brass balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with grotesque mask at the junction with the conforming pierced and engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Hunter, LONDON, and numbered 226, the later circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic quarters to outer track and fine pierced gilt brass hands, the inner case applied with suspension post and bow at twelve o'clock, the second case later with geometric bright-cut bordered moulded rim to circumference and engraved with a monogram within shaped cartouche and foliate scroll quadrant infill to rear, the inner case marked for London 1734 (indistinct makers); the outer probably London 1789 (marks rubbed).The pillar plate 3.6cm (1.375ins) diameter, the inner case 4.2cm (1.675ins) diameter; the outer case 5cm (2ins) diameter. The most likely maker of the current lot is William Hunter who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World as working in London in 1727. Stylistically the dial can be dated to the end of the 18th century hence it was probably updated at the same time the present outer case was made for the watch. Condition Report: Watch is complete and in working condition and appears all-original. The gilding to the train, backplate and fittings is in good condition with minimal wear/rubbing and scratching to the latter. The dial appears free from visible faults. The inner case has some very slight shallow denting otherwise appears to be in very good original condition. The outer case has lost to the tip of the securing clasp button and there is a noticeable dent to the rear cover at around five o'clock otherwise faults limited to a few very minor dents; the engraving shows minimal wear.Gross weight 120g. There is no winding key with this watch. Condition Report Disclaimer
A FINE REGENCY MINIATURE BRASS MOUNTED EBONISED TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATBARWISE, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The five columnar pillar twin chain fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc-bob pendulum incorporating transverse pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension and holdfast to the shouldered backplate, engraved Barwise, LONDON to centre, the 4 inch single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral break-arch dial also signed Barwise, LONDON to the centre, with blued steel spade hands beneath arch incorporating twin subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT and regulation dials, the case with hinged sculpted brass handle and rectangular plate capping the ogee shaped caddy superstructure over moulded brass collar and further outswept concave section merging with the break-arch profile top applied with the complex cornice mouldings, the opening front with brass fillet mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture, the sides with conforming brass-edged arched windows and the rear matching the front, on cushion moulded skirt base and turned brass acorn-shaped feet.27.5cm (10.75ins) high with handle down, 15cm (6ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. The life of John Barwise and his family are outlined by A.D. Stewart in his article Barwise & Sons: Watchmakers to the King, A brief history of family and firm published in the March 2014 issue of 'ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY' (Vol IIIV No. 1 pages 621-34). Stewart notes that John Barwise was born into a clockmaking family in Cockermouth, Cumberland in around 1756. By 1780 he had moved to London where he opened a watch retailing business. Ten years later he married Elizabeth Weston with his address being recorded as 29 St. Martin's Lane where he remained until his death in 1820. Of their eleven children two (possibly three) died in infancy and two, John II (born 1795) and Weston (born 1793), subsequently joined their father in the family business. In 1800, such was his success, John Barwise I purchased a second house in Dulwich.In 1805 John Barwise I was one of the fifteen watchmakers appointed by The Board of Longitude to adjudicate in the dispute between John Arnold and Thomas Earnshaw regarding 'the respective merits of their chronometers'. On the 14th February 1811 Barwise was the victim of five highwayman who relieved him of a 'gold watch, greatcoat, and a guinea-and-a-half in cash' whilst en-route from Camberwell to Dulwich. This unfortunate occurrence may well have tempered Barwise's enthusiasm for his house in Dulwich as records indicate it was rented out to tenants by 1813. In around 1816 his sons, John II (who had just turned 21) and Weston, joined him in partnership with the business then becoming 'Barwise & Sons'. Shortly afterwards (probably in 1820) the firm obtained the Royal Warrant as watchmakers to King George IV.John Barwise senior died in 1820; by this time he was a wealthy man leaving two properties and substantial investments to his widow and children. The business was continued by Weston and John II in partnership, however this only lasted six years as Weston died in 1826 leaving the business in the hands of John II alone. It was at this time that John II married and moved from the family home at St. Martin's Lane to nearby 42 Craven Street; and then in 1840 to a spacious residence called East Lodge, near Acton which at that time was in open countryside. At around the same time John Barwise II entered into an alliance with the highly inventive Scottish Clockmaker Alexander Bain who was in the process of developing the first electric timepiece. Barwise and Bain subsequently filed a patent (No. 8743) for an 'Electro-Magnetic Clock' which was granted in January 1841; an example of which was then subsequently exhibited at the Royal Polytechnic Institution shortly afterwards.In 1842 John Barwise II was approached by Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1878) to assist in the creation of a watch factory which, by employing newly invented machinery, would be able to mass produce high quality watches at a much smaller cost than the prevalent hand-built movements available at the time. Barwise, along with Thomas Earnshaw junior, subsequently became managing directors of the newly established 'British Watch and Clockmaking Company'. Unfortunately the venture failed, and Barwise was declared bankrupt in 1846. With this he lost his house, East Lodge near Acton, but still managed to keep the business afloat. After a few more years of struggling in the business John Barwise II retired leaving it in the hands of the Swiss watchmaker, Jules Rochat, who joined the firm in 1847. John Barwise II was recorded in the 1861 census as being a 'chronometer maker out of business' and presumably still resided at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell until his death in 1869. The present timepiece is finely made and finished and of very pleasing small proportions with the design of the case following that of a series of miniature timepieces produced by Grimalde and Johnson, London. The movement of the current clock, however, is of much higher specification than those mostly seen by Grimalde and Johnson, which are generally only single fusee timepieces. Condition Report: Movement is in fine relatively clean working condition and appears very original with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. If intending to put into long-term service however a precautionary gentle clean/lubrication is advised. The dial is in sound original condition, it is presentable with nice overall slightly mellow colouring but has some spots of oxidation and slight rubbing around the winding holes so may benefit from being re-silvered (depending on personal preference). The case is also in fine original condition with the only notable faults being that the putty holding in the front door glass is starting to come loose and drop out. The baseboard of the case is cut with a slot to allow for the pendulum swing - this is an original feature. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to very minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and edge wear commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and a case key.

A SILVER PAIR-CASED POCKET WATCH WITH CYLINDER ESCAPEMENTTHE MOVEMENT BY THOMAS MUDGE AND WILLIAM DUTTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1775, THE DIAL AND CASE CIRCA 1828The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and cylinder escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with faceted diamond endstone, herringbone bordered rim and grotesque mask at the junction with wedge-shaped relief engraved foot flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Tho's Mudge, W. Dutton, London and numbered 1056, with gilt brass dust cover similarly signed Tho's Mudge, W. Dutton, London, with later circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with gilt spade hands and silver three-part consular case with suspension post and loop at twelve o'clock, case marked for London 1828 makers EW for Edward Walker (registered July 1826).The pillar plate 4.1cm (1.125ins) diameter, the case 5cm (2ins) diameter. Thomas Mudge was born in Exeter, Devon in 1717 and was apprenticed to George Graham before setting himself up in business at 151 Fleet Street, London in 1748. At around the time of the death of his former Master in 1751, Mudge was joined in partnership by a fellow former apprentice of Graham, William Dutton, who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1738 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1746.The business subsequently traded from 148 Fleet Street and Mudge, whilst in partnership with Dutton, rapidly acquired a reputation as one of England's outstanding watchmakers. In around 1755, if not earlier, Mudge invented the detached lever escapement, which he first applied to a clock, but when incorporated into a watch became the greatest single improvement ever applied to them.In 1765 Mudge published the book, Thoughts on the Means of Improving Watches, Particularly those for Use at Sea, and the following year, alongside Dutton, was elevated to Liveryman. In around 1771 Thomas Mudge retired to Plymouth in order to spend more time to pursue his development of a marine timekeeper. The first of these went on trial in 1774 where it performed superbly leading to an award of 500 guineas. Mudge went on to complete two others in 1779 in the continuing attempt to satisfy the increasingly difficult requirements set by the Board of Longitude. They were tested by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne, and declared as being unsatisfactory. There followed a controversy in which it was claimed that Maskelyne had not given them a fair trial. A similar controversy had arisen when John Harrison had been denied the full amount of the 1714 prize by the Board of Longitude. Eventually, in 1792, two years before his death, Mudge was awarded £2,500 by a Committee of the House of Commons who decided for Mudge and against the Board of Longitude, then headed by Sir Joseph Banks.In around 1775 Dutton took both his sons (Thomas and Matthew) into the business forming a second partnership of William Dutton and Sons however the name Mudge and Dutton was often still used (mainly for watches) up to around 1790. William Dutton died in 1794 leaving the business to be continued very much in his tradition by his sons Thomas and Matthew. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).An essentially identical movement to the present lot, also by Mudge and Dutton (number 1207 dated to 1781) but retaining original dial and gold pair-cases and benefitting from single family ownership since new, was sold in these rooms on 6th October 2021 (lot 225) for £9,000 hammer. Condition Report: Movement is in fine original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or replacements. The gilding to the escapewheel appears to be mostly rubbed/cleaned off otherwise gilding to wheelwork, backplate etc exhibits minimal wear/scratching. The dust cover has crescent shaped gilt wear to the edge of the signature panel and the tip of the blued steel latch slide is missing otherwise dust cover is in good original condition with only light wear. The dial has a very light hairline crack issuing form the centre across to beyond the V numeral otherwise is in good condition. The case has some shallow denting to the rear cover and the front bezel closes but not tightly. There is a scuff to the bezel at three o'clock and the glass has scratching/wear.Watch has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A FINE GEORGE III BLUE GUILLOCHE ENAMELLED GOLD POCKET WATCH WITH CYLINDER ESCAPEMENTVULLIAMY, LONDON, 1793The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four columnar pillars pinned through the backplate, shaped stop-iron block and cylinder escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with faceted diamond endstone, herringbone bordered rim and grotesque mask at the junction with wedge-shaped leafy scroll engraved and pierced foot flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied serpent inhabited scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Vulliamy, LONDON and with coded serial number zus, with gilt brass dust cover, the circular slightly convex white Roman numeral enamel dial with Arabic five minutes to outer track and gold beetle and poker hands, the case with radial engine-turned decoration to the blue guilloche enamel decorated hinged rear cover incorporating repeating blue and cream arcaded border, the hinged bezel with conforming border and with fine chevron engraved band to circumference, marks for London 1793, maker SG.The pillar plate 4.2cm (1.675ins) diameter; the case 5.5cm (2.25ins approx.) diameter. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Francois-Justin Vulliamy was born in 1712, the son of a pastor from Gingins, Pays de Vaud, Switzerland. He initially trained and moved to Paris to make watches there, but when George Graham invented the cylinder escapement he came to London (in around 1730), to familiarise himself with it. It was around this that time he met Benjamin Gray with whom he subsequently formed a partnership in 1743; the year after Gray had been appointed Watchmaker in Ordinary to George II. In 1746 Vulliamy married Benjamin's daughter, Mary and they subsequently had four children, Jane, Benjamin, Lewis and Mary. Justin Vulliamy was proud of his roots, and took the lead in permanently establishing the Swiss Church in London in 1762. Whilst Vulliamy was in partnership with Gray their work was signed with both names. After the death of Gray in 1764 the Royal Warrant passed to Vulliamy who signed with either his full name or the shortened version 'Just. Vulliamy'. In around 1780 Justin's son, Benjamin, joined his father in partnership and the workshop subsequently adopted the practice of signing their work with the family surname 'Vulliamy' alone. Justin Vulliamy died in 1797 leaving the business in the hands of Benjamin, who in turn passed it on to his son, Benjamin Lewis, who worked from 52 Pall Mall, served as Warden of the Clockmakers' Company 1821-5 and was appointed Master five times. All three generations of the Vulliamy clockmaking family benefitted from Royal patronage. Condition Report: The movement is in fine clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. All wheelwork, backplate and fittings retain original gilding with next to no wear, scratching etc. The dust cover is in fine condition except that one of the latch posts is missing its tip. One of the movement securing turnscrews also missing. The dial has some hairline cracking towards the margin between the VIII and X numerals; the hands are nicely made and in good condition. The case is in fine condition with faults limited to some small surface scratches to the enamel, the date letter is indistinct but just about legible.Case 74g with movement and dial removed, watch has a winding key.

A GEORGE III 18CT GOLD PAIR-CASED POCKET WATCH WITH DUPLEX ESCAPEMENTJOHNSON, LONDON, 1800The gilt full plate fusee movement with four columnar pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-shaped stop-iron block, five-spoke wheel crossings and duplex escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetrical rococo foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with faceted diamond endstone and grotesque mask at the junction with the conforming engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Johnson, London, and No. 1584, the circular white enamel Arabic numeral dial with vertically aligned numerals and gilt spade hands, the inner case applied with suspension post and bow at twelve o'clock and the outer with slender moulding to the circumference, both cases with marks for London 1800, makers IM for either James Marson (registered June 1775) or James Macklin (registered August 1777).The pillar plate 4cm (1.0625ins) diameter, the outer case 5.5cm (2.125ins) diameter. Numerous watchmakers with the surname Johnson are recorded working in London around 1800 hence a likely candidate for the maker of the present lot cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The single-wheel duplex watch escapement employed in the current lot is to a design developed in its final form by Thomas Tyrer, who patented it in 1782. The duplex escapement is a form of frictional rest escapement which when properly set-up can achieve a very good rate, however it can be temperamental due to its tight tolerances and susceptibility to shock. The duplex escapement was subsequently generally superseded by the more reliable lever escapement which was further developed and refined during the first decades of the 19th century. Condition Report: Watch is complete and in working condition and appears all-original. The gilding to the train, backplate and fittings is in good condition with minimal wear/rubbing and scratching to the latter. The dial has some light hairline cracks to the lower edge and a very small fill repair within the minute track between 5 and 6. The movement was originally fitted with a dust cover which is no longer present. The inner case has slight depression and split at the foot of the suspension post otherwise is in very good original condition, the outer has some minor denting and the clasp is prone to releasing otherwise is also very good. Marks to both cases are nice and clear.Gross weight 126g. There is no winding key with this watch. Condition Report Disclaimer
