AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare pocket watch movement VERGE Fusee to which the precious gold case has been removed
watch marked: "George Knowles - Manchester"
The name George Knowles of Manchester is associated with the tradition of British watchmaking and is documented in the historical records of master clockmakers (clockmakers and watchmakers) operating in Lancashire County.
George Knowles operated in Manchester, England, inserting himself into the dense fabric of watchmakers, artisans and assemblers of the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era.
Complete with its crystal.
Ceramic dial PERFECTLY INTACT
Movement diameter 46 mm, crown excluded
I am selling the movement as non-working, for repair and/or for parts. The verge is correctly seated in its place.
