The original lever escapement is the earlier type but with a Bi-metallic balance wheel and balance screws. Edward Dent made the ships chronometer which accompanied Charles Darwin on the H.M.S Beagle in 1831 and of course built the great clock of Westminster (or ''Big Ben'' as it''s known).This clock was produced in his Paris workshops in the 1840''s -50''s. A lovely little clock which will be ready soon...
