J.H.Diedrich in Einbeck, a rare gilt metal open faced pocket watch with Pouzait escapement and calendar, circa 1820, the two piece case with white enamel dial, black Roman chapter ring in the lower half, a date dial above, with fine blued steel Breguet hands, and independent dead seconds, the Pouzait escapement with large brass four arm balance (40mm diameter), large openwork cock extending two thirds of the top plate with index regulator and egg and dart border, the case 58mm diameter. Jean Moise Pouzait presented a model for this escapement to the Geneva Society of Arts in 1786. The idea appears to derive from the pin-wheel escapement in clocks. Pouzait, who eleven years earlier had invented the independent seconds mechanism, seems to have developed this new lever escapement in an attempt to simplify the mechanism for dead seconds.

MOORE BOBBY: (1941-1993) English Footballer, Captain of the England World Cup winning team, 1966. Rare A.L.S., Bobby Moore, on the verso of a slim oblong 8vo colour picture postcard showing two views of the Guadalajara Hilton hotel in Mexico, n.p. (Jalisco, Mexico), n.d. (June 1970), to Mrs. Kynaston in Manchester. Moore thanks his correspondent for her letter, which he greatly appreciated, and comments `Hoping to bring the cup back to England for all the folks at home`. Some light overall age wear and creasing, G The year 1970 was a bittersweet, mixed and eventful one for Moore. He was again named as captain for the 1970 World Cup but there was heavy disruption to preparations when an attempt was made to implicate Moore in the theft of a bracelet from a jeweller in Bogotá, Colombia, where England were involved in a warm-up game. A young assistant had claimed that Moore had removed the bracelet from the hotel shop without paying for it. There was no doubt that Moore was in the shop-he had gone in with Bobby Charlton to look for a gift for Charlton`s wife. The accusation was not proved. Moore was arrested and then released, he then travelled with the England team to play another match winning his 80th cap, and England were 2-0 victors, but when the team plane stopped back in Colombia on the return to Mexico, Moore was detained and placed under four days of house arrest. Diplomatic pressure, plus the obvious weakness of the evidence, eventually saw the case dropped entirely, and an exonerated Moore returned toMexico to rejoin the squad and prepare for the World Cup.
