See my current auctions for some unusual watches. Marsh circa 1783 pair case Crown wheel verge fusee. Great painted dial, completely original, from estate, No Reserve. You have to love this beautiful watch, circa 1783 completely original movement, case, dial, hands and crystal. The watch measures 51 mm in diameter and the case has the London date letter “h” for the years 1783 and case makers mark “I D” for John Dimsdale, Goswell Street. The pair case is in excellent condition with originals owners initials on back. It is untouched and has old watch paper for a Horsham watchmaker inside the back cover. The dial is spectacular, painted scene of shepherd courting on the right with musician holding bagpipes on the left of the dial. The dial has the original beetle/poker hands and nice bulls eye crystal. The movement, a nice crown wheel verge escapement signed Marsh 695. The watch movement is intact, I don’t see any pivot/wheel damage in the train. The balance wheel moves freely and watch tries to run although dirty. The chain is intact and you can wind the fusee wheel. The set up for tension on the fusee chain is an early type with the worm wheel under the mainspring barrel. This should be a nice spectacular piece once restored/serviced by a qualified watchmaker. It’s a great example of a complete original investment quality 18th century English watch.
