Beautiful 1780′s English verge fusee Gold filled inner pair case pocket watch by D. Amazing inner pair case that was yellow Gold plated at one time, but the material now has worn away and appears to be a type of rose Gold fill or possibly a solid Gold. It does not look like brass. I have not had it tested so at this time I will sell as if an unk material. Case polished up easily to a nice clean shine. The beautiful bow and stem are truly unique. Beautiful white colored porcelain dial with nice Roman numerals. The dial does have a few old chips and repairs, but has real nice eye appeal. The Gold hands are a perfect complement to the dial and case. Sharp clean high domed bullseye Crystal is real nice with just a few tiny scratches and edge chips. The case cover opens and closes nice and tight with good movement hidges. Key wind and key set pocket watch runs beautifully with nice Balance motion. The balance bridge is beautiful with ornate scroll work, as does the right side of the movement. The movement is super clean with sharp blue screws and is regulated by a right side blue disked regulator. The watch measures approx. 42mm excluding the bow. Pocket watch runs outstanding and keeps great fusee time, last checked about +/- 1 or 2 minutes within approx. 24 hour period hanging from a hook in the vertical position…….. But cannot guarantee accuracy upon sale. These watches are verge type. Meant to keep time, not perfect time 235 years ago. Also special care must be taken not to overwind these old museum pieces. Watch comes with a set of keys for winding and setting. Note all of my pocket watches have been personally serviced and restored to there best working order according to there age and condition. Pocket watch is listed in the watch and clock makers of the world as Edmonds, D. The case does not have hallmarks so the serial number being low and the square pillars on the movement, approximately place the watch in the 1780′s. This is a Super Nice and Solid English verge fusee museum Quality time piece missing its outter case that is still beautiful for display and ready to be added to any serious watch collection.
