Questions About Chain And Fusee
- What is a Fusee pocket watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021A fusee pocket watch — named for the French word fusée — is an antique type of watch with a crescent pulley and a curved groove around it that is wound with a cord or chain. The chain is attached to the mainspring barrel. Find a range of vintage fusee pocket watches on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A fusee clock uses a mainspring barrel, a fusee and a chain coiled around an arbor. The barrel pulls at the chain, winding the fusee. This pulley method was considered revolutionary at the time, but its mechanical origins can be traced back to the 1600s. This type of watch movement faded out of favor in the mid 1700s. Shop a collection of properly vetted fusee clocks from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- How do you set a fusee clock?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A fusee clock uses a wound cord or chain around a spindle with a pulley to keep time with a symmetrical tick and tock. To wind a fusee clock, a key is needed to unwind the chain off the barrel and back onto the fusee. Moving the hands to the correct time prior to winding is no trick, so setting the time is fairly easy—it’s setting the gears or winding that can be difficult to get just right. Shop a collection of fusee clocks from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Henry Fuseli's famous painting is called The Nightmare. The Swiss painter completed the work in 1871. It depicts an incubus sitting atop the prone body of a sleeping woman. You can see it on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts in Detroit, Michigan. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Henry Fuseli art.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, a curb chain is not the same as a Miami Cuban chain. A curb chain is thinner and flatter than a Miami Cuban chain, which is rounder, bolder and thicker. Miami Cuban chain links are also more closely linked to one another. You’ll find a selection of both curb and Miami Cuban chains on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023A tennis chain is called a tennis chain due to the history of tennis bracelets. The name comes from an incident involving tennis player Chris Evert. In 1978, at the US Open, she lost a diamond-set link bracelet during a match and asked the officials to pause the action while she looked for it. People have referred to bracelets and chains of a similar style by the term "tennis" ever since. On 1stDibs, explore a range of tennis chains.
- What is a body chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A body chain is an accessory made of metal that is meant to be worn around the body. Typically, body chains are worn across one's chest, back or around one's hips.
- What is a Rolo Chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Also known as belcher chains, rolo chains are round, inter-connected links. The outer edges of the chains are typically rounded and the inside is usually flat.
- What is a mariner chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A mariner chain is sometimes referred to as an anchor chain and is considered the strongest type of chain. Each oval link is the same size and has a middle bar that provides additional strength to the link. They are arranged in a typical horizontal fashion. Find vintage and contemporary mariner chains from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- What is a double chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021The double chain stitch is a version of the chain stitch in which two stitches are worked side by side and interlocked. The double chain is made by bringing the needle out at point A and then inserting it at point B. At point C, the needle is released, leaving an open chain stitch.
- What is a tennis chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A tennis chain refers to the types of necklaces often worn by tennis players. The term itself dates back to the 1980s.

- What is a book chain?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A book chain is a type of antique Victorian jewelry designed for lockets, cameos, chains, and necklaces.

- What is a chain bracelet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021Chain bracelets are constructed by joining links together to form a band with a clasp fastening.
