Charles Cabrier II: Charles Cabriers father (a French watchmaker who emigrated to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes) and his son – Charles Cabrier I and III – were both reputed makers as well. Cabrier himself began his apprenticeship in 1719, was a member of the Clockmakers Company from 1726 on and a master from 1757 until 1772. Until 1759 he had a workshop in 79 Broad Street, near Finsbury Circus; he then moved to Pig Street – which does not exist anymore – near Threadneedle Street. The watch we have here may have been a joint effort by Charles Cabrier II and his son. Baillie mentions Charles Cabrier II as a “famous maker”, Britten calls him a “celebrated maker”.

Up for sale is an interesting sterling silver repousse English verge fusee pocketwatch with a fancy painted dial. The outer case is about 47mm in diameter. The repousse scene shows some wear. The porcelain dial has a wonderful painted scene. The dial has a few hairlines and a small chip on the number 25. The painted section is fine. The glass crystal is not high domed like it should be, and the cannon pinion has been shortened to accommodate the lower crystal. The movement is signed Wm Crayton London.

Very Early ¼ Hour Repeater Pocket Watch by Jodin in Fancy Silver Pair Case England; Jodin; Mans; Serial# 130; C. 1690 Complications: ¼ – hour repeater. 800 silver, 56mm, pair case feature floral, repousse and pierced decorations. DIAL: This white porcelain dial displays Roman numerals and Louis XIV hands. MOVT: This key-set movement with verge escapement is gilt with a full plate layout and is signed. C 3 (The case is in very good condition) D 3-57 (The dial is in very good condition, slightly restored) M 3 (The movement is in very good condition) R 9 (Rarity on a scale of #1 being very common to #10 being extremely rare) Both cases have elegant pierced designs with the outer case having a centered raised repousse motif on the back. Quarter Hour Repeater The quarter repeater strikes the number of hours, and then the number of quarter hours since the last hour. The mechanism uses 2 chimes of different tones. The low tone usually signals the hours, and the high tone the quarter hours. As an example, if the time is 2:45, the quarter repeater sounds 2 low tones and after a short pause 3 high ones: “dong, dong, ding, ding, ding”. Alternatively, some use a pair of tones to distinguish the quarter hours: “dong, dong, ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong”. Key-wind/Key-set Movements The very first pocket watches up until the third quarter of the 19th century had key-wind and key-set movements. A watch key was necessary to wind the watch and to set the time. This was usually done by opening the case back and putting the key over the winding-arbor (which was set over the watch’s winding-wheel, to wind the mainspring) or by putting the key onto the setting-arbor, which was connected with the minute-wheel and turned the hands. Some watches of this period had the setting-arbor at the front of the watch, so that removing the crystal and bezel was necessary to set the time. This watch includes a reproduction of the correct size key, it is not the original. Verge Fusee Escapement Used in antique spring-powered mechanical watches and clocks, a fusee is a cone-shaped pulley with a helical groove around it, wound with a cord or chain which is attached to the mainspring barrel. Fusees were used from the 15th century to the early 20th century to improve timekeeping by equalizing the uneven pull of the mainspring as it ran down. The mainspring is coiled around a stationary axle (arbor), inside a cylindrical box, the barrel. The force of the spring turns the barrel. Pair Case Higher end early verge fusee watches were often in a pair case. Pair case refers to when a pocket watch is placed within another case (nesting), therefore two cases. The outter protective case is often very decorative. There are also watches, such as those made for the Turkish Market, that had up to four cases, each nesting perfectly within each other and keeping the inner watch safe from damage. Repoussé or Repoussage Repousse is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. It is also known as embossing. We consider any reasonable Best Offers – Please submit your best offers! ABOUT US: Ashland presents the worlds best vintage and pre-owned watches and jewelry online.

Beautiful verge fusee watch in golden pair case. Diameter of outer case is 49mm, inner case is 41mm. Total weight is 112 grams, only outer case weight is 34 grams. London hallmarks date it to 1735. Pretty similar watch from 1730s is being kept in Ashmolean museum of Oxford, with almost identical repoussé scene, probably made from the same cast. It’s illustrated in the book by David Thomson, pp. In this book, the subject is identified as Antony & Cleopatra, most probably after drawing or even production of Augustin Heckel workshop. The scene is depicting the Banquet of Cleopatra , episode described by both Pliny’s’s Natural History and Plutarch’s Lives, in which Cleopatra takes an expensive pearl and dissolves it in her wine, prior to imbibing the drink. The episode depicts the spartan Roman warrior represented by Antony being seduced by the sensual opulence of the East, as exemplified by Cleopatra. The case is quality one, nice piece of British chasing. The dial and movement are signed by Abraham Blanchard in London. Not a much is known on this watchmaker. Baillie records Abraham Blanchard in London in 1744, that’s all. Watch is quite nice, the dial is made of solid gold, according fashion of this time. Many of these champlevé dials was later replaced with white enamel ones, nice to see good original one. Video will open in a new window. Condition Condition is quite ok. Dial is in good condition with minor defects. Movement is running in every position though I don’t guarantee time keeping. Outer case has wear, with some losses of details, please see photos.
