Notes

The middle case is virtually identical to one which is now in the Museum of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, signed by the celebrated Moser, the earliest known work by Moser with the asymmetrical cartouche. The similarities between the two cases are striking; they show the same composition, as well as most of the same details.
