Robert Roskell was traditionally associated with his partner Peter Litherland, who made the manufacture famous for the quality of its verge escapements (rack lever escapement). Roskell Sr. often worked in close association with his own children and that of his brother John.
John Roskell Sr. worked in partnership with his brother until 1825. Thereafter, John Roskell Sr. continued to collaborate with his brother, while working with his various children out of the 16 Nelson Street, St. James address. John had a son, John Roskell Jr., who worked in partnership with Robert Roskell Sr. in the namesake firm ‘Robert Roskell & Sons’.
Robert Roskell Jr. (d. 1888), son of his famous watchmaking father, worked along his cousin John Roskell Jr. in his father’s firm (and in its later transformation into ‘Messrs Roskell & Co’). Robert Roskell Jr. moved to London in the early 1843 to create the famous firm of Hunt & Roskell, retailers of some of England’s finest watches and jewelry.
