Benjamin Gray

An early silver pair cased verge fusee pocket watch with champleve dial by Benjamin Gray of London - an important Royal Watchmaker.

This wonderful early pocket watch is signed to the deep full plate gilded verge fusee movement, and numbered using the letter code initiated by Benjamin Gray, and subsequently continued by his son-in-law, Justin Vulliamy. There is a finely pierced, engraved & chased balanced cock with a large screwed-in diamond endstone; pierced & engraved decoration around the silver disc regulator, and worm & wheel barrel set-up between the plates, which are supported on square baluster pillars.

The time is displayed via blued steel beetle & poker hands to the silver champleve dial which is signed "Gray - London".

The silver pair cases are as close to mint condition as is possible to get and carry the casemaker's mark - AR.
