Mercer became an active member of the British Horological Institute (established in 1858) where he lectured on the need to modernise the industry and served as honorary treasurer from 1875-95. After occupying several addresses in Clerkenwell Mercer relocated the core of the business to St. Albans in 1874 setting up a factory behind his house at 14-15 Prospect Road. Although the bulk of the businesses work was undertaken in St. Albans Mercer personally made weekly trips to Clerkenwell to deliver/collect parts finished by specialist outworkers as well as visit the Horological Institute. In order to maintain a presence in London Thomas Mercer opened an outlet 18 Westmoreland Road, City Road in 1890. Succuss at the Greenwich trials was also always considered important to Mercer who entered instruments every year; he was placed second in 1881 and his son, Frank, came first in 1911. In 1900 Thomas Mercer accepted an invitation to judge at the Universal Exhibition in Paris but unfortunately caught a cold on the ferry crossing and died soon after his return. The business was subsequently continued by his successors becoming of the most prolific suppliers of chronometers and other timepiece for industrial, maritime and domestic purposes and continued trading in St Albans until 1984.  Condition Report: Timepiece is in good original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement retains its original finish albeit with noticeable patchy discolouration/oxidation in areas. The dial has some patchy oxidation/wear otherwise is in good original condition. The bowl and gimbals are in good original condition retaining old albeit showing degradation/wear mostly to the bowl. The box is in good original relatively clean condition with faults limited to relatively minor surface scratches, wear and a few light bumps and scuffs. The lining to the guard box is in good condition, the exterior has a few light surface scratches and is lacking its leather strap handle.Instrument is complete with its typsy winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
