DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS WATCH IS? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION TO HELP IDENTIFY IT. THE ONLY INFO I KNOW ABOUT IT IS THAT IT IS KW/KS IN A VERY ORNATE SILVER CASE.

It looks to be an anonymous English fusee with lever escapement in a nicely carved sterling silver case. I might guess that it is from the mid- to late-1800s. If you can get a picture of the hallmarks inside the back of the case I can get the date more precisely.

Terry,
Thanks for your help. Here are the hallmarks found inside on the case back.

Hi Phil,

Your English fusee dates to 1861.
