Description
A super example of an early waywiser by Jonathan Sissons with a finely engraved center of the dial and a silvered readings dial, with the original hands.
The oak and mahogany case has a beautifully constructed wheel and elegant handle.
In original untouched condition.
Sissons worked on his own from 1722 to 1747, he was apprentice to George Graham the famous clock maker, which explains the beautiful hands and fine engraving.
I think this is the only example of Sissons work we have been lucky to own.
