I have some interesting English movements, I would like to present one of them now.
It seems interesting to me because I have not seen this "broad arrow" marking on the bridge on early pocket watches. Provided, that this marking was really that! Does anyone know, when this marking was used on military pocket watches?
Another interesting feature to me is, that the main plate is mirror polished! Maybe this wasn't typical either.
This movement seems to me a very high quality, the compensated balance has solid gold screws. I have several English movements with such screws. My other question would be related to this, how widespread was the use of these in the balance?
