Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:159151 | Modified Item: No |
| MPN: Does Not Apply | Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom |
| Brand: Brockbanks | Type: Movement |
The movement measures 52.3 X 15.6, very large and originally a custom order probably in a 4 to 5 oz. 18K case, very rare complication and as well as the Stodgen strike work, stunning flat polish work of the highest standards of the industry. It is a Ruby cylinder escapement with a chain fusee, very rare, only made by the best of the best at that time. Brockbanks is one of the greatest of London at the times and only made high grade timepieces. Condition is excellent, runs, coach h...ours and quarters works. repeat section is missing two parts, the hour strike rack, and a spring for the quarter repeat rack to make it register on the quarter snail. the minute and hour wheels are also missing. There may be some other small part missing but I have not been able to find out if that is the case. The hour snail steps can be determined by virtue of the existing hour repeat rack, and these are not contiguous parts which is an entirely different matter in replacing parts. Originally the case would have had two bells for the strike and coach watch functions. The dial is just an extra that can be redone for a skeleton style case. For the sake of the auction an offer should based on possibly another part missing just in case there is another.
