About the Item

H. Lamb, Bahne Bonniksen. A Rare 18ct Yellow Gold Open face Keyless Lever 52 Min Karrusel Pocket Watch C1900.

This rare and important Karrusel pocket watch retailed by H.Lamb, who was a prominent jeweller located in Lynn Street from 1873 selling high value jewellery, pocket watches and clocks. This pocket watch shows British watch making at it's finest. The Karrusel was invented by Bahne, Bonniksen, under, Patent No 21,241, November 1892, he was the inventor of a revolving carriage ‘karrusel’ in which the escapement and balance is made to turn 360 degrees in just under an hour. This was done in order to cancel out the deleterious effects of gravity in fixed escapement watches. This watch would make a fine addition to one's collection. We sell this watch a one year guarantee and our own certificate of authenticity.
