Description
A fine antique English silver cased full hunter fusee pocket watch, hallmarked London 1854 and fitted with an attractive gilt fusee movement signed J. Rogers, London.

Brief Maker History
John Rogers was a London-based watchmaker active during the mid-19th century, producing traditional English key-wound fusee movements known for their durability and decorative finishing.
