Sir John Bennett. A late 19th century silver key wind open face pocket watch with Karrusel escapement

Numbered 57011, Kew A Certified, London Hallmark for 1877
Gilt 3/4 plate English lever movement with bi-metallic balance and Karrusel escapement, with engraved, 'Kew A. 82.2 Marks,' black Roman numerals and outer five minute divisions, polished round hinged case, dial and movement signed 53mm.

Footnotes

The Karrusel movement, the carriage is mounted on a karrusel wheel driven by the third wheel pinion. The fourth wheel staff passes through the centre of the karrusel bearing to allow the fourth wheel pinion to mesh with the third wheel and power is transmitted to the escapement in the normal way rather than through the carriage rotation as in the tourbillon.
