Was in the PW mood today so I took out my Verge Fusee.
It runs great and the sound you hear when you put it against your ear is indescribable.
It runs 5 minutes fast and that is great Fusee time.

Sorry wrong year is 1822.

I have had a couple verge fusee watches from the 1700's that have run within a minute per day.you could get yours more accurate by a simple hairspring adjustment.they are very neat watches and I love working with them.nice watch..Vic

Thank you, I'll try that.
These are some watch papers that came with the watch.


This is an interview with one of the last fusee Chain makers.
If you have 2 minutes check it out,very interesting.

Where are the pins for securing the Plates together?

well spotted , one missing and others?
regards enrico

They are there I just happened to take the picture when some pins were out.
Maybe you guys can help me out, on another forum we came to the conclusion that the movement was made by J. Graham of London,hopefully James Graham and the cases by William Ryley of St. John's Street Coventry.There was a James Graham from London, with records of his work between 1802 to 1808 but not to 1822.and no work seen by William Ryley, Coventry, dated after 1813.
Any suggestions.
Thank you.

My 1828 Verge fusee watch runs within 30 seconds in a day. It has the large round balance cock and a disc type Tompion regulator. It says Frankcom, BATH on the movement.
