Pierced and engraved cock with large diamond endstone, pierced and engraved plate for the silver regulator disc. Fusee and chain with worm and wheel barrel setup between the plates. Plain three arm gilt balance, blue steel spiral hairspring. Push pendant quarter repeating on a bell. Signed later "champleve" style silver dial with Roman and Arabic numerals, blue steel beetle and poker hands. Purpose made silver pair cases decoratively chased and engraved. Signed D Quare - London 856, Circa 1720, Diameter 50 mm

A late example of a particularly small sized repeater by this eminent maker. He went into partnership in 1718 with Horseman and died in 1724. There was some overlap in the numbering of the repeating watches, this being almost the last example to be signed by Quare alone. Quare's signature appears on watches numbered from 109 to 857 - Quare and Horseman on watches from 843 to 1129.
