Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1743 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1750. He worked from Sweetings Alley and took his brother Peter into partnership in 1770. James Evans is recorded by Baillie as also working from Sweetings Alley from 1773. In 1775 he went into partnership with Robert and Peter Higgs; the firm subsequently moved to Exchange Alley and continued in business until around 1825. The partnership of Higgs and James Evans specialised in producing clocks for the export market - particularly to Spain hence a significant proportion of surviving examples (including the current lot) being annotated and signed in Spanish. Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition however the strike train sometimes 'miscounts' the hour suggesting that slight adjustment to the rack/snail system is required. The escapement has been changed from verge (with short bob pendulum) to anchor although minimal intervention to the plates has occurred hence the clock would convert back leaving little evidence of the present arrangement if so desired. Movement otherwise is in good original condition but with some re-pinioning. The dial is in good original condition retaining older mellow surface exhibiting some rubbing and discolouration, The minute hand has been restored. The case is in good condition with faults limited to slight rubbing to the ebonised finish (most noticeably to the front door) and some light shrinkage cracking (most noticeably to the superstructure). The rear has a small veneer loss to the lower left-hand corner; the escutcheon plate to the front door is a later addition. Clock has a crank winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
