A George III gilt brass pocket watch movement Thomason Fitter, London, late 18th century The gilt full plate single fusee movement with, four column-turned pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and five-spoke wheel crossings, the current English lever escapement with sprung three-arm balance and Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetric foliate scroll pierced balance cock fitted with screwed diamond endstone and with engraved wedge-shaped foot flanked by silvered regulation disc with adjacent applied gilt infill opposing signature Tho'on Fitter, London and serial number 5871 , with white enamel Roman numeral dial (hands lacking) and original gilt dust cover with repeat signature, the pillar plate 33mm (1.3125ins) diameter. Thomason Fitter is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1731-83. The English lever escapement fitted to the current lot is unlikely to be original as this would appear make it a particularly early example. It is therefore most probable that the current lever escapement is a 19th century conversion from cylinder or perhaps duplex. The movement however is generally very well made (with five-spoke wheel crossings) and there are no obvious signs of alteration (although the escapewheel appears to be a replacement) hence would probably warrant disassembly to allow further investigation.
