The only things i know is that the watch was made in 1798 according the to hallmark and the silver smith that made it was John Wintle.
 
That's when the case was made.

The watch appears to pre-date the case.
 
Wow ! That is a seriously excellent watch ! I know next to nothing about it - I'm guessing you picked this up pretty cheap ?
 
yeah i was out doing some antique hunting and i picked this up for 30$
 
Thanks for the info
 
Outstanding bargain. It is a beautiful watch.
 
Yup, great tic tock.
Post your thread in "antiques n collectables" for more answers.

Peace ✌
 
You should also post this in the Garage sale finds forum. There people there that will help you out also, Great find!
 
That is pretty awesome! Amazing that an item that advanced and technical was available that long ago, so many moving parts that have to work together.

If I saw that I could probably not take out the money any faster!
