This is a wonderful example of a larger silver 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. Each nesting perfectly within each other and keeping the inner watch safe from damage. Verge Fusee movements were 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. Size: Outside Case Diameter is 58mm.
