Info Source For Buying / Repairing Old Verge Fusee Watches ?

[deanloveswatches]

Hi All

 

I'm new to watch repair, but I have recently found myself becoming fascinated with those extremely ornate (and what looks like totally hand made) old antique verge fusee pocket watches from the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

 

However, I cant really seem to find a good source of detailed info on these watches (online or in book form). There are some more general sources that mention these old antique timepieces, but I cant find any in-depth or definitive info sources.

 

Has any other member looked into this already ? If so - what dd you manage to dig up ?

 

Or any other advice on this recent twist on my watch passions ?

 

Thanks

 

Dean

Hi Dean,

I don't know the first thing about antique verge fusee pocket watches but I find it hard to see posts with no responses. Rest assured, if anyone here has anything to add to your knowledge they will - eventually! :-)

Cheers John, I've just had a couple of old books delivered from abebooks.co.uk - excellent references [emoji3] (and I just won a bid for a knackered verge fusee on the bayster - should be fun when it arrives)
