Thomas Mudge invented the lever escapement, which is still used on nearly all mechanical watches and many clocks still to this day and is  regarded as one of the most influential horologists of all time.

The quality of these clocks is second to none. This is an exceptional quality movement with thick plates and five large baluster pillars. It has 2 large mainsprings powering the going and strike trains both with fusee barrells.

It would have had an unusual chiming mechanism striking on 5 silvered bells, working off a much smaller 3rd mainspring with no fusee. Unfortunately this has been removed along with its actuation levers.
