beating seconds-register, the movement of this watch is viewed by removal of its dial. We are unaware

427 of the significance of the hour markings inside the case rear and of the minute markings to the portion $500 -
of mvt surface visible when case rear is opened, it is possible these served some function that is no $1,000

William Herbert Jr, Fenchurch Street, London, 52mm, verge fusee with single hand, silver OF pair

cases, inner bearing incuse "I B" marking below coronet, rear of inner case with crudely scratched

Philadelphia as well as a handwritten paper with comments about the watch and its previous owner,

"Herbert London" marked silver champleve dial, KWKS, verge escapement, balance wheel without

hairspring, gilt mvt with open work foliate scrolled balance cock. Brian Loomes' "Watchmakers and

Clockmakers of the World" notes a William Herbert at Fenchurch Street in 1789. Although the present

watch has some features and design elements typical of 17th century production, the overall finish and

430 appearance of the watch is not consistent with a 17th century production date. We believe the watch $500 -
was more likely produced around the late 18th century date suggested for the maker by Loomes, and $1,000
we believe this watch was made at this time in homage, or imitation, of the 17th century style. From

the collection of Robert L. Ravel, M.D. Mvt: Running, excellent cosmetic mvt condition overall,

main plate missing a screw having a tapped hole at perimeter of uncertain function and with witness

mark to plate surface of once having had a screw at this position, excellent gilt tone, some small

fine hand with some oxide; outer case shows light wear, a dark patina, denting to upper perimeter of
