Lot 115
A George II gilt brass verge pocket watch movement with cylinder escapement Delander, London, second quarter of the 18th century The gilt full plate single fusee verge movement with four square baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, cylinder escapement, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical foliate scroll pierced balance cock with diamond endstone and decorated with a female mask at the junction with the with the conforming engraved foot flanked by silvered regulation disc within adjacent applied gilt engraved infill opposing signature Delander, London and serial number 1365 , with original dust cover engraved with repeat signature and serial number and now fitted with a convex white enamel Arabic numeral dial fitted with gold spade hands, the pillar plate 35mm (1.375ins) diameter. The current lot can be stylistically dated to around 1730 hence could have been made by either Daniel Delander or his son Nathaniel. Daniel Delander is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1678 and apprenticed to Charles Halstead before being transferred to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1699. He initially worked as 'servant' to Thomas Tompion from Devereux Court and later (after Tompion's death in 1713) from 'within Temple Bar', Fleet Street. He was a fine maker whose work was clearly influenced by his master but is perhaps best known for his series of particularly fine duplex escapement longcase clocks as well as long duration clocks often with refinements such as equation of time. Daniel Delander died in 1733 and was succeeded by his son Nathaniel who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1725, he was appointed Master in 1747 and died in 1762. 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).
