Dating

17th Century, Late
Charles II
Circa 1675 CE - 1685 CE

Note

Although signed by Thomas Tompion, research has shown that the movement was not made by him but was bought in and retailed by him. It has been suggested that the movement is very similar to the work of William Cattell (c.1650-1688) who was working nearby Tompion’s establishment.
