In original fitted box from Reids of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Founded in 1788, Reid & Sons received a Royal Appointment from Queen Victoria in 1838. Known for silver, jewelry and chronometers, the company exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and at the 1862 International Exhibition, both held in London. Between 1844 and 1898/9 Reid & Sons sent a number of marine chronometers for trial at Greenwich, coming second in 1844. On other occasions the company came third in the trials and did well enough for the Admiralty to buy a number of their chronometers. The Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton had a Reid & Sons chronometer.
