Good London finished Lancashire movement with Savage ‘2-pin’ lever escapement, circa 1825, from the Alan Treherne collection.
£95.00
Fullplate fusee movement jewelled to the 3rd, with cap jewels on balance (diamond) and escape, the cap stamped IS (one of many cap makers yet to be identified). Detached lever escapement of Savage 2-pin form, the lever with small rack-type counterpoise. Steel balance, spiral balance-spring. One-piece enamel dial, mismatched gilt hands. 47 mm diameter, 18.5 mm deep, not including centre arbor.
John Patrick, Deptford Bridge, London, “watch and clock maker”
George Savage, Huddersfield and London, inventor (circa 1814) of what many consider the best form of detached lever escapement, in which the safety pin also receives the impulse. With finer tolerances than the normal detached lever escapements, the ‘Savage 2-pin’ as it has come to be called, was always more expensive to fit. Examples are much more uncommon than the English Massey and single-roller variants.
Dial with the usual hair cracks and damaged hands, otherwise complete and in good original condition. Not cleaned but will tick when wound.
