SignedBeauuais London Circa 1690 Diameter 56 mm Depth 18.5 mmSimon Beauvais London, free of the Clockmakers Company 1690 - 1730. An eminent maker, strike repeating watch in the Dennison collection. This interesting watch dates originally from about 1690 based on the style of the cock and use of five leaf pinions. It has been modernised about 1730, having a new dial and replacement outer case made for it. This would have been justified by the extensive work carried out to the striking mechanism which also allowed it to be used as a repeater. From the evidence of the striking train and pillar adjacent, the movement appears to have been converted from count wheel strike with the count wheel unusually situated under the dial. This is a rare variation of the more usual configuration where the silver count wheel is visible on top of the plate. Between 1700 and 1705 rack striking superceded the countwheel which easily lost synchronization with the hands About us Payment Shipping Returns Policy contact Us Thank you for looking at our listing
