Silver verge with skeleton movement by W. Moore
–
An English silver key-wind pocket watch with skeleton movement by W. Moore, London, circa 1790.
This watch features a skeletonized movement with a verge escapement. The movement bears the number 177, possibly indicating its model or serial number. The dial is made of enamel and features Roman radial hours; there is an outer minute track with Arabic numerals at five-minute intervals, making it easy to read the minutes at a glance. The hands are spade-shaped, a classic design element that complements the traditional dial style. The watch’s case is crafted from silver and has a unique, transparent, and skeletonized design. This means that the back of the case is see-through, giving you a clear view of the internal movement. Such a feature is commonly found in premium watches and lets the wearer appreciate the detailed workings of the mechanism.
