John Arnold's Marine Timekeeper #4

From the collections of the Newport Historical Society, a marine pocket watch believed to have been made as part of the race to determine longitude at sea, was recently authenticated by curator of Horology, Rory McEvoy of the Royal Observatory, Royal Museums Greenwich, England. Mr. McEvoy verified that the pocket watch is #4 in a series of five marine timekeepers made by John Arnold of London, circa 1772.

Mr. McEvoy spoke at the Newport Historical Society on the race for longitude, John Harrison, and John Arnold’s #4.
