This beautiful antique pocket watch gold VERGE FUSEE was hand-pieced with intricately detailed floral scrolls and engravings. It also features an engraving of father time or the green man. This highly ornate fusee was used in a timepiece from the 1700’s. Hidden inside the watch this lovely component was the watchmaker’s signature and no two are alike. This special piece is not only distinctive in its unique etchings, but also its unmatched exquisiteness & historical value.
Fusee Pocket Watch are one of the oldest pocket watches that existed, as they dated all the way back to 16th centuries. The production of fusee type pocket watches stopped in America in 1850s and in England in 1880, and thus making them highly desirable antiques for pocket watch collectors today.
I have been crafting contemporary Jewellery from the original internal parts and decorative elements of these very old pocket watches including the brass gear box that houses the rare verge escapement gear, the balance plates also beautifully engraved and other ornate components. All of my timepiece jewellery is crafted with stainless steep findings and components. The stainless steel is hypoallergenic, and unmatched in strength and durability. Some Stainless steel elements such as necklaces have been plated in 18ct Gold.
