A FINE GEORGE III GOLD PAIR-CASED POCKET WATCH WITH CYLINDER ESCAPEMENT AND CALENDARTHOMAS MUDGE, LONDON, 1763The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and cylinder escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine asymmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with faceted diamond endstone, canted leaf-bordered rim and grotesque mask at the junction with wedge-shaped relief engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Tho's Mudge, London and numbered 182, with gilt brass dust cover similarly signed Tho's Mudge, London and slightly convex white enamel Roman numeral dial incorporating rare date-of-the-month aperture to centre, Arabic five minutes to outer track and with sculpted steel beetle and poker hands, the gold inner case applied with suspension post and ring at twelve o'clock, fitted with convex glass to bezel and marked for London 1763 maker P.M, the associated outer case marked for London 1752 maker Mb. The pillar plate 3.5cm (1.375ins approx.) diameter; the outer case 5cm (2ins) diameter. Thomas Mudge was born in Exeter, Devon in 1717 and was apprenticed to George Graham before setting himself up in business at 151 Fleet Street, London in 1748. At around the time of the death of his former Master in 1751, Mudge was joined in partnership by a fellow former apprentice of Graham, William Dutton, who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1738 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1746. The business subsequently traded from 148 Fleet Street and Mudge, whilst in partnership with Dutton, rapidly acquired a reputation as one of England's outstanding watchmakers. In around 1755, if not earlier, Mudge invented the detached lever escapement, which he first applied to a clock, but when incorporated into a watch became the greatest single improvement ever applied to them. In 1765 Mudge published the book Thoughts on the Means of Improving Watches, Particularly those for Use at Sea, and the following year, alongside Dutton, was elevated to Liveryman. In around 1771 Thomas Mudge retired to Plymouth in order to spend more time to pursue his development of a marine timekeeper. The first of these went on trial in 1774 where it performed superbly leading to an award of 500 guineas. Mudge went on to complete two others in 1779 in the continuing attempt to satisfy the increasingly difficult requirements set by the Board of Longitude. They were tested by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne, and declared as being unsatisfactory. There followed a controversy in which it was claimed that Maskelyne had not given them a fair trial. A similar controversy had arisen when John Harrison had been denied the full amount of the 1714 prize by the Board of Longitude. Eventually, in 1792, two years before his death, Mudge was awarded £2,500 by a Committee of the House of Commons who decided for Mudge and against the Board of Longitude, then headed by Sir Joseph Banks.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). Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with strong gilding and minimal marks to the backplate. The escape wheel appears to be a service replacement otherwise all appears original and the calendar is operational. The dust cover is original and in good condition with only very slight oxidation to blued steel slide. The dial has some slight chipping around the thumb lever to the lower edge; the hands are original and very nicely finished. The inner case is in good condition with relatively light age-related wear however the bezel appears to be very slightly different in colour so may well be a very well-made replacement and the glass appears relatively recently fitted. As catalogued the outer case is associated but is a very good fit.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer
