A very nice Antique Regency period, George IV, English Silver Fusee Pocket Watch, made by William Dickman of London, dating from c1823.
This is a good, rare, example of a consular cased English Fusee Pocket Watch. It is in good condition but not working and in need of some restoration, however a more affordable example for the watch collector, being sold in unrestored condition. A nice item to have in any collection even if you choose to keep it in the current condition.
The solid silver case is in good condition, the hinge to the rear cover slightly weak and opens to beyond 90 degrees as can be expected on this age of case. It is hallmarked with case maker's initials "IG" the Lion Passant silver mark, the Leopard's Head London town mark and the date letter "h" for 1823/24.
The English Fusee movement is not in working order. It is key wound and set. The movement has a nicely engraved balance cock and has the serial number 2934. It is signed by the maker "Wm Dickman, London". It is complete with dust cover, also signed and with the matching serial number.
The dial is in good condition. The hands and glass are missing.
The watch measures approximately 52 mm in diameter (excuding stem and bow ring).
