Shortly before 1803, Edward Ellicott the younger sought to bring in fresh blood to his business and the name style changed to Ellicott & Company. By about 1806, James Taylor had been adopted as a partner and from this time until c.1818, the firm’s watches were inscribed Ellicott & Taylor, London (see: David Thompson, The Watches of Ellicots of London, Part I, Antiquarian Horology, Summer 1997). The movement in this watch is of particularly high quality and is unusually slim for a chronometer of the period. The double ‘T’ compensating balance is of a type generally accredited to Robert Pennington. This, and the fact that the Earnshaw-type detent escapement has Pennington’s unusual gold escape wheel and depth adjustment, strongly suggests he was Ellicott’s supplier. Further information on the Pennington balances can be found in Vaudrey Mercer's article: The Penningtons and their Balances, Antiquarian Horology, Vol. 12, No. 5, March 1981, pp. 514-522
