A Regency silver cylinder pocket watch John Roger Arnold, London, circa 1814 The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four column pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll stop-iron block and cylinder escapement with jewelled escapewheel pivots regulated by sprung steel three-arm balance with lever adjustment, the backplate with plain balance cock fitted with faceted diamond endstone and adjacent shaped mainspring pivot plate signed J.R. Arnold, London opposing serial number No. 3438 , the white enamel Roman numeral dial repeat signed Arnold, No. 3438 to centre over subsidiary seconds at six o clock and with blued steel spade hands, The silver consular case fitted with convex glass, suspension post and hinged rear cover revealing winding hole, hallmarks for London 1814, makers mark A.G. over J.M. , the pillar plate 44mm (1.75ins) diameter, the case 53mm (2.125ins) diameter overall. John Roger Arnold, son of the renowned Chronometer maker John Arnold, was born in 1769. In 1783 he started working with his father before becoming an apprentice to Abraham Louis Breguet in 1792. By 1796 he had returned to London and gained his Freedom of the Clockmaker's Company. After his father's death in 1799 John Roger Arnold continued to work alone becoming Master of the Clockmaker's Company in 1817. Shortly after his move to 84 Strand, London in 1830 he went into partnership with E.J. Dent, this partnership lasted for ten years before it was dissolved in 1840. Arnold continued to work alone from 84 Strand until his death in 1843 when the business was acquired by Charles Frodsham. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).

LARGE ARNOLD & DENT GILT BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK CIRCA 1835 the signed circular engine-turned dial with a Roman number chapter and subsidiary 'FAST/SLOW' dial, set in a waisted rococo style case with acanthus scrolls, floral garlands, and a classical mask, surmounted by the figures of Chronos and Ananke; the movement inscribed 'Arnold & Dent London/ 524' 61.5cm high Note: The partnership of Edward J. Dent and John Roger Arnold began in 1830 and lasted ten years. The firm specialised in chronometers and precise clocks and other instruments, and counted amongst their clientele prestigious civic, maritime and scientific organisations. Both Dent and Arnold were prominent clockmakers in London in their own rights prior to the partnership, with a history of important commissions and innovations between them. Dent started trading in 1814, fulfilling important commissions for the Standard Clock at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich and the Great Clock for the Houses of Parliament, known as 'Big Ben'. In 1830 he supplied a marine chronometer to the Beagle, used during Darwin's voyage while researching 'Origin of the Species'. Arnold served as apprentice to his father, a noted 18th century horologist, and to Abraham Louis Breguet, eventually taking over his father's business in 1799. In 1817 he became Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers. Clocks produced during the decade long union of Arnold and Dent are of extremely high quality.
