PAIR CASED 18TH CENTURY SILVER VERGE FUSEE WATCH NO. 811 H, NICOLLS LONDON. A very rare watch that needs to have one hand added and a number 2 key. There is a cut out paper advertisement in the outer case that says Maker Meeksham. So, this is where the actual watchmaker H. You’re probably not going to run into very many of this case type, unless you have a very old watch that’s been handed down to you. In the early to mid-18th century, it was common for watches to be housed in “pair cases”. A pair-cased watch has an inner case which holds the actual movement of the watch (often a verge fusee), and an outer case which enclosed and protected the inner case. Since the inner case couldn’t be made dust-proof because of the key-holes for winding and/or setting, an outer case would provide additional protection from dust and dirt. There were even some triple-cased watches made during the same period! Early pair-cased verge fusee watches were often ornately decorated with pierced and chased gold-work as seen in the photos below. NOTE: WE HAVE ADED A PHOTO THAT SHOWS HOW THESE TYPE WATCHES ARE PUT TOGETHER.
