Gorgeous...
Potter is one of my heroes, ever since I read Pratt's article.
But WHERE did you get to see three of them close-up like that!?!?!

Does this qualify as an Official Reference for Observatory Testing?
3 Albert H. Potter Chronometer Detent pocket watches with helical hairsprings. Hope you Enjoy. For more info on Albert H Potter see the VOX Article on Antiquorum website [direct link edited] theCROWNprince This message has been edited by MTF on 2007-08-10...
These are amazing. . .
. . . obviously, can anyone shed light on the Potter patented detent escapement? It looks like there's some kind of funky arm coming off the detent with, uh, maybe the passing spring mounted on it??? Jack
There are more than three
There are more Potter's in this collection than these 3. Perhaps if you badger The Crown Prince enough he will post more pics of the group and give us more backround on Potter.
