Aspects Of Time

This fine Pair Case Watch carries London Hallmarks for 1836. Both parts of the case carry the same mark, supporting that they started life together. The cases are superbly made, the outer featuring a square hinge which is still in great condition. The inner case is marked JB (Josiah Barnett of London?). Both parts are in very nice condition with all parts closing crisply and true. The movement is Verge with fusee and functions well although not accurate runs right down as demonstrated in the bottom left photograph. Typically it is unsigned but has a very decorative balance cock. The dial is clear but the porcelain has some fine hairlines. The crystal is bulls eye and also in good condition. Altogether a very fine example made the year before Victoria came to the Throne. Priced at £425.
