Model 1881 watch with elaborately embellished dial in the style of Josiah Moorhouse - Movement S# 225,338, circa 1891, with strikingly and intricately damascened nickel plates, raised gold, screwed-down jewel settings, whiplash regulator, and engraved "Adjusted." The engraved and engine-turned 14K gold hunting case is embossed "E. H. & Co." The single sunk dial is adorned with 7 cartouches and other embellishments on the Howard signature, hour numerals and the outer minute rule. Moorhouse never signed the reverse of this dial, but his artistic fingerprints are all over the front. |
