    Help identify watch maker

    I have this little silver ladies watch 28 mm diameter, cylinder escapement, crown wind and pin set. The case has the French 0.800 silver mark of a crab. The movement I think has some family resemblance to my Le Coultre calibre 6 (picture 4). Does anyone recognise this cylinder...

    Rotherham & Sons Trademark

    Rotherham and Sons, Coventry used this makers mark. I think it is found sometimes on the dials of their watches, and sometimes on the dial plate. On the dial plate mark the three pointed object looks more like a trident, and with the snake like object makes the shape of an R. Could these...

    Rotherham 8 day Mantle Clock

    Hi, I bought this clock locally in Cornwall, England. It is signed on the dial Rotherham, and seems to be one of their 1949 range of 8 day clocks. It goes well, and is heavier than I expected. To me the movement resembles an instrument panel design like their Bonniksen speedometer, and perhaps...

It is a Geneva bar movement with a club tooth lever escapement. The lever is a counterpoise side lever shaped...
