GILT & SHAGREEN PAIR CASE VERGE FUSEE POCKET WATCH. Listed watch maker Joseph Weldon recorded to have worked at St John, Clerkenwell in 1792 and was apprentice to worshipful company clock maker Master James Harbud. A English verge fusee pocket watch with associated shagreen outer case. In good working order. A fine late 18th century English pair cased verge fusee pocket watch by Joseph Weldon, London. The movement is watch maker signed and serial numbered 19816. The outer green skin case covering has extensive tiny gold pique work decoration, the inner case housing the movement has a gilted finish with a metal base. The movement has square pillars, a pierced and engraved balance cock with a pierced and engraved foot incorporating a Tompion style disc regulator. It has a chain driven fusee and a verge escapement. The white enamel dial is signed Weldon London , it has Black Roman hour numerals, black Arabic minute numerals and beetle & poker hands with a mineral high dome bullseye glass crystal. The outer case measures 49.7mm (approx 2) in diameter, the combined weight including movement is 100 grammes. Condition: The outer case is in very good condition without any damage or wear and with 99.9% of the pin work intact. The inner case has a gilt finish with wear commensurate with age. The inner case is thought not an original match to the outer case as without the additional felt and watch paper packet inside it is a slightly smaller size. Both case covers open and close as they should with good strong hinges. The movement is complete and in strong ticking order without stopping , the movement would likely benefit from a clean and service therefore time keeping cannot be guaranteed. The dial is in good condition without any hairlines or chips and the beetle and poker hands and bullseye crystal are in good order. It is an early pocket watch with considerable age, so more fitting to be kept in a cherished collection rather than to be used as a day in day out work horse. Used presentation box and key provided.
