Jose Gonzalez1922 Verge Fusee
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.

These are some watch papers that came with the watch.
This is an interview with one of the last fusee Chain makers.

Jose GonzalezThey 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.

Donald C. HendersonMy 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.
