Hi,

I could now repeat the information from
Britten's: Old Clocks & Watches And Their Makers:

Allam (Allan) and Caithness,
1800-1809, 119 Bond Street, London,
sucessor of Allam and Clements,
1783-1794, New Bond Street, London,
1780-1794, 119 Bond Street, London,
gold engraved watch in the London Museum

But I better don't, because then nobody will buy watch books any longer,
and if nobody buys books, nobody will write watch books any longer.

Regards, Roland Ranfft
