專家說明

At the end of the 17th century, Thomas Mudge Jr., the son of the celebrated chronometer maker Thomas Mudge, hired a number of craftsmen to make copies of his father's work for public sale.

Amongst these watchmakers were Paul Philip Barraud of London and George Jamison of Portsea, a town adjacent to the naval base of Portsmouth on the southern English coast. Although no exact dates in regard to their collaboration are known, it is thought that it existed only between 1797 and 1798. During this short period, probably no more than 50 watches signed by both watchmakers were made.
