Jean Barenet, London, 54 mm, 119 g, circa 1650
A one-handed silver pair-cased verge pocket watch
Case: outer case - silver. Inner case - silver. Dial: silver, champlevé. Movm.: full plate movement, chain/fusee, large three-arm brass balance.
Because of the French name and the "London" designation we assume that Jean Barenet was a Huguenot refugee. He is not listed as a member of the Clockmakers' Company and the design of the movement implies that it is originally Dutch.
