I just won this lot of bits on e-bay. Why? Maybe a future project... big project! I'm not sure on a couple of the items in the lot. The unfamiliar items are numbered. I believe not all these parts came together and I can't find anything on Hawley Strand? Any clues? here is the auction page for some close ups. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=003&ss...0080645115&rd=1&rd=1 2 and 3 look to be mainsprings but why two different size? | |||

So it's not a chronograph! 1 is not part of this movement! 2 and 4 are the mainspring and fusee. 3 is a spare geared mainspring (also not from this watch!). Thanks to John Woolsey's help I know it was made by one of the following Hawley English watchmakers. Frederic - 1863, John - 1844 - 51, John & Charles - 1828 - 39 Thomas & Co - 1828 - 39. John looked up Hawley in Two different books. The list is from book one and contains no adresses. In book two Thomas & Co was listed with address on Strand St! So John is leaning towards Thomas Hawley! Now if I only had the rest of the movement! Orion P. Young | ||||
