The King's patent no. 2351 was granted to Ralph Gout in 1799. See the Camerer Cuss Book
of Antique Watches page 160 for a pedometer watch for use on a horse. It is difficult to be
certain whether this watch was originally constructed with the pedometer mechanism and the
dial made for it later (it is retained by two feet in their original positions). Alternatively the
mechanism may never have been completed and a scene used on the dial to occupy the space
left.

This watch demonstrates the practise of the horological trade from the 18th Century of
producing watches for sale by retailers. The maker was confident he would be selling it to a
retailer in London and so had the main plate of the watch engraved at the same time as the
cock. The barrel bridge however was left blank. This part could easily be removed without the
need to dismantle the watch and be engraved with the name of the retailer, another
watchmaker, or even the purchaser of the watch.
