He is recorded in three entries in the Clockmakers' Company List of Masters and Apprentices, (transcribed from Atkins' list of 1931 by Jeremy Lancelotte Evans). He was bound on 4th September 1699 to Richard Blundell, free on 19th September 1714 and subsequently took on a total of 6 apprentices between 1716 and 1731, the last of which was his son, Peter. Robert Higgs registered his mark of RH within a rectangular cartouche with the London Assay Office on 25th October 1721.Subsequent research kindly carried out by Richard Edgcumbe of the Victoria & Albert museum (Curator of Metalwork and author of 'The Art of the Gold Chaser in Eighteenth Century London' - the definitive reference work on the subject) suggests that there is strong evidence that the outer case was made by David Dupont. This goldsmith was working in London from the 1730s until his death in the late 1760s and is known to have signed an outer case on a watch which also has an inner case by Stephen Goujon. Edgcumbe's book includes an illustration of a signed example of Dupont's work with the same theme of Time crowning Hope, and he believes it reasonable to think that the two cases were chased by the same hand.Casemaker Goujon (the name suggests a possible Huguenot connection) was registered on 8th April 1720 at Porter Street, Corner of Newport Alley.

H. Betterton, London - A mid 18th century 22ct gold pair cased pocket watch, circa 1765, outer case unmarked, the cover activated by push button, verso hinged at 9 o'clock, front bezel with repoussé foliate scrolls over a textured ground, verso decorated with a repoussé classical scene, possibly that of Bacchus and Ariadne, open faced pocket watch with unsigned white dial, 38mm diameter, black Roman numerals, gold coloured fretwork hands and chemin de fer chapter ring under a convex crystal, front loading gilt full plate movement, signed H. BETTERTON LONDON 12074, pierced and engraved winged balance cock with mascaron at the neck, verge escapement with chain fusée, silvered regulation and 4 pinned square baluster pillars, inner case, 41mm diameter with stirrup shaped pendant bow, verso polished and monogrammed with winding aperture, interior with remains of casemaker's mark, probably that of Daniel Aveline, and part mark for 22ct gold, no further marks, 87.7g gross and presented with the winding keyLittle is known about the watchmaker. The reference in Britten's Old Clocks and Watches and Their Makers, 9th edition, lists an 'H. Betterton of London' and cites the source of a watch in the Guildhall Museum, London. Sadly, there appears to be no reference to a Betterton watch being there now.The case is probably the work of Daniel Aveline (1723 - 1771), a Huguenot casemaker with workshops in Seven Dials, Covent Garden, London. He was apprenticed in the Clockmakers' Company to Stephen Goujon (see lot 290) in 1723 and became a Freeman in 1731.The depiction on the outer case may be that of Bacchus and Ariadne. Richard Edgcumbe in The Art of the Gold Chaser shows a similar scene designed by Augustin Heckel dating from circa 1730. Although not identical, it shows a man departing and pointing to a ship in the background, with a woman looking on.(With grateful thanks to Helen Chapman and her team at the Antiquarian Horological Society for their assistance in the cataloguing of this lot)Case - Outer case - opens and closes satisfactorily and the hinge does not appear strained. Some dents and dings to the case back and the rim is a little out of shape.Inner case - Some dents, scuffs and dings together with creasing around the rim. Engraving clear and crisp.Dial - A small chip to the enamel at the edge at 6 o'clock together with an extremely fine hairline crack running from there to the centre hole, visible with difficulty under reflected light.Movement - In running order, though not tested for timekeeping or endurance.

NO 103, inner numbered 351600, the cuvette similarly numbered, presented on a (probably original) brown leather pendant strapCarley & Clémence was a business partnership founded in 1903 between George Carley, a watch and clock wholesaler, and Josef Auguste Clémence, founder of watchmaking firm 'Clemence Frères'. Clémence became the new company's chairman, and the firm supplied a variety of different watches and timers to the military, particularly the Admiralty, from their offices in 30 Ely Place, London.The Ordnance Q.F. (quick firing) 13-pounder field gun was the standard equipment of the British Royal Horse Artillery since the outbreak of World War I. The original mark I was wire wound, with the later mark II version barrels having a tapered inner A tube pressed into the outer tube. As its maximum range was around 6000 yards, the dial calibration for distance on this example stops at 6500.Although long obsolete as a military weapon, 13 pounders are still in use today by the King's troop RHA, primarily for ceremonial duties and as saluting guns. The coffin of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was transported through the streets of London on the top of a 13 pounder gun carriage.Case - Some surface scratches commensurate with use.
