Can anyone identify this "Nugent and Wells" pocket watch movement


Recommended Posts

I've been asked to try to identify this pocket watch movement. Sorry about the poor photo.

It's engraved "Nugent Wells and Sons, Newport".  I can find no mention of any watch movements they made, so I assume it's a bought-in movement.

- though they seem to make marine chronometers, so who knows ?

Wells, Nugent of Newport - see Wells, Henry of Newport, Monmouth and Shrewsbury (A brief document giving some working dates for Henry Wells of Newport, Monmouth and Shrewsbury. There is a photo of a clock by him on this page.)

found on http://www.clockswatches.com/ 

I/m not registered and it's fee based info
