One of the finest of Georgian period marine chronometers, this Barrauds of London example, circa 1820, is mounted within an exceptional campaign-style brass-bound rosewood case with brass bail handles and ornate inset keyhole escutcheon and lid cartouche. Barraud was known for making some of the highest quality Royal Navy-certified marine chronometers of the early 19th century. This is a superior example featuring an 8-day movement along with their patented power reserve indicator on the dial. This indicator shows how many days are left before the movement requires another winding. This movement winds and works well, as does the reserve indicator. Be sure to note that this is an 8-day movement, considered much more desirable than the more commonly-found 2-day movements. This is quite an early example as later dials are often marked "Barraud & Sons" after father Paul Philip Barraud died in 1820, when sons Frederick, Joseph and John continued on with the business.
