A rare Harwood Automatic wristwatch, the signed round dial with black Arabic numerals and minute markers, luminous hands, rotating bezel, steel case, 28mm diameter, on later black strap, cased with original instruction leaflet John Harwood (1893–1964) was a British horologist and inventor of the first self-winding wristwatch. A chance observation of some children playing on a see-saw initially gave Harwood the idea of the self winding mechanism which would enable a closed movement, eliminating any chance of interference from damp or dust. The watch has no crown with the time being set by turning the bezel in one direction and the turning it in the opposite direction to re-engage the movement. First seen at Basel in Switzerland in 1926, Harwood went on to open the Harwood Self-Winding Watch Company in 1928 to market the watches in the UK, but the company failed in September 1931 due to their difficulty of manufacture and the effects of the Great Depression. Rolex went on to later develop the self winding mechanism and were highly successful with them. However, later in 1956, Harwood and Rolex exchanged correspondence with Rolex acknowledging Harwood as the inventor of the self winding mechanism and including his portrait in their advertising. In 1957 Harwood was awarded the Gold Medal by the British Horological Institute.. Appears to be currently working.Some discolouration to dial, with brownish mark running through name.Case lightly abraded with a few small scratches.Rear of case more abraded, worn and pitted.Crown turns and dot moves between light and dark.Please note: In accordance with accompanying instructions, we have not removed the back and are reluctant to do so as this can introduce dust to the movement.

A Turned Ivory Pedestal Cup and Cover, South Germany, 2nd half 17th century, of lobed ovoid form on a similar stem, the cover and foot with central dome flanked by eight hemispherical lobes, 39cm high See illustration Provenance: A gift to the vendor's father from his uncle, and thence by descent The lathe had been used since ancient times for producing simple turned, decorative pieces and sections for furniture and other items. However, innovations to lathe technology in the 16th century allow much more sculptural forms to be produced, often impossible to replicate by hand. Examples produced in ivory were particularly prized and courts throughout Central Europe installed lathes and employed master turners to instruct princes and aristocrats in their use. A lathe made for Emperor Maximillian I between 1500 and 1518 is the earliest recorded example of princely turning, whilst Augustus the Strong employed Georg Wecker in Dresden, and Rudolf the First was instructed by members of the Zink Family. The present example, with its distinctive hemispheres on the cover and foot, would seem to be unusual. A similar example with its original puzzle ball finial is in the V&A, accession no.A41-1949 and is illustrated in Trusted (Marjorie) Baroque and Later Ivories, pg.65, item 44, and two further examples are recorded as being sold by Christie'sFinial missing. Section of rim of cup, approximately 7cm by 3cm broken out and into two pieces and restuck. Some age-related splitting throughout, particularly to stem and the domes and hemispheres on the cover and foot. Some staining throughout and some surface scratching and minor flakes. 210219
