PENNEY – EXPLORERS’ watches: Makers and Variations
NEW. Horological Profile No 7, covering the rare ‘watertight’ cased watches with lever escapements used by Royal Geographical Society ‘travellers’ – and others.
£15.00
Printed card covers, 24 pages, highly illustrated throughout in colour with 7 different examples described in depth. Privately printed, 2025.
A 9-page historical introduction provides much new information about these rare watches, plus it shows the variations in their makers and finishing that includes two gold cased examples never previously published. Those made by Usher & Cole, supplying Herbert Blockley, are included, as well as those made by Nicole Nielsen, both of whose impressive work is covered in depth in the seven examples featured.
The 7th in a series of Horological Profiles aimed primarily at owners, collectors, dealers, auctioneers and museum staff, as well as anyone with a passing interest in the subject of antiquarian horology in general. The aim is to provide the latest and most up-to-date information, including historical, technical and decorative aspects.
NB: I welcome feedback that will either correct or enlarge on their content, plus if more than one of my Profiles are ordered together, any extra postage is free.
