Lot 354 & 355: A ‘fine gold watch and albert’ presented for an act of bravery. Sir Victor A.H. Horsley (1857-1916) was an accomplished scientist and professor, and the first neurosurgeon appointed to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. Known as 'the father of neurosurgery', he was the first surgeon in the world appointed to a hospital post as a 'brain surgeon'.In August 1911 he was on holiday with his family in Rousay - one of the largest of the Orkney Islands - off the north coast of Scotland. His son, Siward Myles Horsley, who suffered from epilepsy, went fishing in a boat just offshore, but suffered a fit and fell overboard. The local newspaper - the 'Orcadian' - of Saturday August 26th, 1911, carried the following report on the incident:'BOATING ACCIDENT AT ROUSAY - A serious boating accident occurred off Sourin, Rousay on Tuesday. From information to hand it appears that a son of Sir Victor Horsley was fishing from a small boat...when he fell into the sea. Fortunately, the accident was observed from the shore and a rescue party set off. By this time the young man had sunk, and it was only after some difficulty that he was picked up from the bottom. He was...in a serious condition...and was only restored after great difficulty’.Two months later, the 'Orcadian' carried a further report:BOATING ACCIDENT AT ROUSAY - Sir Victor Horsley has presented fine gold watches and alberts to the (two) boys who recently saved his son from drowning. The names of the boys are Alfred Hermisgarth and Robert Sinclair.

Taschenuhr: historisch interessantes John Arnold Chronometer No. 20/1020, London 1797/1810: Ca. Ø55mm, ca. 155g, typisches Arnold Silbergehäuse, nach beiden Seiten aufklappbar, Londoner Hallmarks 1810, innen vergoldet, wunderschönes, originales John Arnold & Son Werk mit durchbrochen gearbeiteten Kloben, Diamantdeckstein, zylindrischer Spirale und Arnold's Feder-Chronometerhemmung, Platine signiert John Arnold & Son London No. 20/1020 invenit et fecit, Emaillezifferblatt, Goldzeiger, sehr guter Zustand, funktionstüchtig. Provenienz: Sotheby's 1977, gelistet und wie hier vorliegend beschrieben in Hans Staeger: "100 Jahre Präzisionsuhren von John Arnold bis Arnold & Frodsham, 1763-1862". Da das Werk auf 1797 datiert wird, ist anzunehmen, dass die Uhr bereits 1810 bei Arnold modernisiert wurde. J.R. Arnold entschied sich offensichtlich dafür, die originale Federchronometerhemmung beizubehalten, das Werk wurde aber mit der damals neuartigen Pennington-Unruh ausgestattet, in diesem Fall in einer besonders schweren und hochwertigen Ausführung. Ein sehr interessantes Taschenchronometer, an dem sich die Evolution der Modernisierungen durch Arnolds Sohn, John Roger Arnold, gut erkennen lässt. Nach heutigem Kenntnisstand sind lediglich 6 dieser Arnold Chronometer der sog. III. Serie bekannt.

Y&nbspA VICTORIAN ROSEWOOD CASED TWO-DAY MARINE CHRONOMETERGEORGE EDWARD FRODSHAM, LONDON, CIRCA 1875The circular four pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw type spring detent escapement and split bimetallic balance with cylindrical compensating weights, helical balance spring and diamond endstone, the spotted backplate with spring set-up ratchet and blued-steel pillar and backcock securing screws, the 4 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial to above six o'clock beneath engraved signature G.

George Frodsham then worked alone from 31 Gracechurch Street, London from 1864; the business became G. E. Frodsham and Company in 1882 and then a Limited Company in 1888. The following year (1889) the business advertised as being clockmakers to the Queen, Prince of Wales, The Royal Observatory and The Lords of the Admiralty and continued under George Edward Frodsham until 1901 when he presumably retired; he died two years later. Please note Dreweatts have an ivory exemption license for this lot BLQCKTTE Condition Report: Movement is complete, appears all-original and is in working condition; the mechanism is a little dull/tarnished hence would benefit from a gentle clean. The dial has overall very light streaky oxidation and the minute hand is a replacement. The bowl and gimbals are complete and are in sound original condition and retains old lacquer finish albeit with wear and oxidation to extremities/edges. The glass has a couple of light surface scratches. The case is in very good condition with the only notable issue being a break across the corner of the rectangular ivory name plate fitted to the front. Other faults are very much limited to very minor bumps and wear and oxidation to the brass fittings.Timepiece has a replacement typsy winding key but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Wotruba in his article The story behind 'PATENT SURETY ROLLER' stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2019 (pages 239-47). Wotruba describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transported) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1879. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861 before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition although the strike is currently an hour out-of-sync (sounds one hour behind). As catalogued the escapement platform is a replacement otherwise movement appears free from visible alteration or noticeable replacements. Dial has some light hairline cracks to the upper left-hand corner (only visible on close examination from oblique angle looking up into the corner behind the bevel of the glass) otherwise dial is in fine condition. Case has a small corner chip to the lower right-hand corner of the rear door glass otherwise case is in good original condition albeit with patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the gilding.Clock has a winding key.The Matthew Norman timepiece has overall discolouration/tarnishing to the case otherwise is in essentially unused but working condition.
