A gold open face chronograph with regulator dial signed John Poole 57 Fenchurch Street London, No. 4768, and hallmarked London 1874. The three-quarter plate movement has a compensated balance and English single roller lever escapement. There is start, stop, back-to-zero chronograph operation via the crown. A watch where the signatory, a chronometer maker of the first class, is in this instance only the retailer.
