Is there no maker's name on the movement? - your pic's resolution doesn't allow me to see for myself. However, I think the casemaker mark is for Matthew Govett; known example dates for him are in the range 1806-18. Matthew was born circa 1766 and started as an apprentice to James Richards (see also http://theoldwatchword.blogspo...ittle-and-large.html) in 1781. He had premises at Ironmonger Row. He died in 1823. The hallmarks are in my opinion for 1810.

I believe the case is hallmarked for 1810 also,but the movement is a newer lever fusee with balance screws and jewels that in my opinion would be from the middle to the late 1800's.i do not believe the movement came with this case..the movement that would have came in this case would have been a verge fusee...
