circa 1955, the signed circular cream coloured dial, 28mm diameter, with silver coloured batons (Arabic numerals at 12 and 6) and hands, centre sweep and inner rotating alarm setting disc, signed and jewelled mechanical crown wind movement calibre K814, number 1395664, with crowns for winding the movement and the alarm on either side of the pendant bale at 12 o'clock, case, 30mm, verso brushed and snap on, numbered 790574, interior signed, the case within a black horseshoe shaped frame, with metal fold over cover/stand, presented with a livered black leather pouchFootnote: The 'Memovox' (from the Latin memoria 'memory' and vox 'voice') was first introduced in 1951, both as a wristwatch and a pendant watch which converted to a miniature bedside clock. The mechanism operating the time and alarm function were separated by constructing two separate barrels, which ensured that the power reserve of the timepiece was not reduced by triggering the alarm function. As a result, Memovox has two crowns for winding.In 1956 a mechanical automatic version was introduced, credited as the first automatic wristwatch movement to house a mechanical alarm function.

In 1907, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria awarded the business the title ‘Court Supplier to His Royal Highness’.When Moses died, his sons Markus, Heinrich and Alexander took over the company and in 1930, Heinrich designed the 8361-piece council cutlery for the city of Munich, which was used until 1980.When the Nazis seized power, the company suffered from reprisals. In 1938, the company was ‘Aryanized’ and the family were forced to sell the business. The Wetzlars left empty-handed due to the Reich flight tax and emigrated to England in 1939.The last of the family, Heinrich Wetzlar, returned to Munich in 1956 but found he could no longer work as a silversmith. With his suicide in 1974, the family died out.Wetzlar silverware can be seen in the Jewish Museum in Munich and in the Munich City Museum, and a special exhibition dedicated to the life and work of this important family of silversmiths was opened in 2014.

(D. Gaimster, German Stoneware 1200 - 1900 Archaeology and Cultural History, London, 1977, p. 208). Although the clay is grey, a wash of iron oxide matures it to a brown surface colour, hence its alternative name of brown stoneware.Beer was the preferred beverage in 16th century England for all classes, and unmounted "Tigerware" stoneware jugs were ubiquitous in the Tudor household. It has been recorded that the city of Exeter alone was importing up to five thousand jugs a year by the end of the 16th century.The fashion for adorning these vessels with silver mounts appears to have started at the Royal Court. King Henry VIII's Cardinal Wolsey and his administrator, Thomas Cromwell, apparently both possessed such jugs in the 1520s. By 1574, the Jewel House contained examples made for the Marquess of Exeter in 1538 and another for Edward, Duke of Somerset from 1552. Following the King’s lead, many wealthy Elizabethan drinkers had their jugs and mugs mounted with silver decorated in the latest style with engraved fruit, figures and animals. Engraving the mounts with a Coat of Arms, initials or a merchant’s mark was also commonplace and a sign of ownership.Given their relatively small metal content, many survived the great bullion melting of the English Civil War, making them perhaps the most recognised example of late 16th century silver today. However, because of the fragility of the material and the fact that these pieces were in fashion for a relatively short time (from approximately 1550 to 1640), only a fraction of those produced over 400 years ago have survived to the present day.(An almost identical example was sold by Christie's in June 2015 for £8750: Live Auction 10397 - Centuries of Style: Silver, European Ceramics, Portrait Miniatures and Gold Boxes.
