Fine American Two Day Marine Chronometer, Signed T. S & J. D Negus New York

Located in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom

A Classic beautifully produced mid-19th century American chronometer in a three-tier rosewood case, made c. 1850-60. The typically constructed case consists of a lower and glazed upper part, as well as an observation lid. The lower part has two drop handles to the sides, while the front has a lock and key with an inlaid brass escutcheon. In the front of the upper part, there is a brass button to lock the observation lid. The movement is situated in a gimballed brass bowl, which can be secured for transport purposes by a turnable handle in the bottom right corner of the case. The 4” silvered dial is protected by a flat bevelled glass set in a bezel, screwed to the bowl. The makers have signed and numbered the chronometer on the silvered dial in the following manner: T. S & J. D NEGUS NEW YORK No. 780 The time is indicated by a fine pair of gilt brass hands on the silvered dial with a Roman chaptering, Arabic five-minute and minute divisions The seconds are indicated by a blued-steel hand on a separate chapter ring below the middle with Arabic ten-second, five-second and second divisions. Below the XII is an up-and-down dial 0 - 56 (hours). The two-day duration movement is constructed between two circular plates and is driven by a spring in a spring barrel via a chain fusee. It has a so-called Earnshaw spring detent escapement with a compensated balance and helical spring. The chronometer is wound by a special key with a ratchet to prevent winding the clock in the wrong direction. The key can be stored in a hole in the left top corner of the case. The winding hole is covered by a sprung shutter. Dimensions: 18 x 18 x 18 cm The makers: T.S. and J.D. Negus were British immigrants. In 1848 Thomas Steward Negus and his brother John Davidson...
