Moritz Immisch
Moritz Immisch (12 March 1838 - 20 September 1903) was an Electrical engineer, watchmaker and inventor.
He was born on 12 March 1838 in Niederschmon, near Querfurt in Germany and died 20 September 1903 in London.〔Records of the Stadtkirche, of St Lamperti, Querfurt. NB his British death certificate is in error concerning his age; given as 66, though he was only 65.〕
Always known as 'Moritz Immisch', his full name was Karl Moritz, the eldest son of August Christian Immisch, a watchmaker. He received a technical education in the state of Thuringia, graduating from university in his native country, before leaving Germany around 1860 to seek opportunities in England, particularly in London. He migrated with one of his younger brothers, Bernhardt Theodore Immisch, who had also trained as a watchmaker with their father. Both settled in England; Moritz marrying Emma Elizabeth Welch at St John's Church, Marylebone, London in 1876. Twenty years later, at the request of his English family Moritz became a naturalised British citizen.〔See naturalisation files in the National Archives ref (HO 144/393/B21138 )〕
==Watchmaking==
Immisch found opportunities to apply his watchmaking skills, developing precision clockwork mechanisms, improving practical details and considering the further applications of the physical processes involved. From 1863 he was employed as foreman to the noted firm Le Roy & Fils at their premises on Regent St. In 1872, when already a Council Member of the British Horological Institute, he submitted an essay on 'The balance spring and its isochronal adjustments' which was awarded the Institute's Baroness Burdett Coutts Prize 〔The Prize was jointly awarded to Immisch and to Mr Henry Phillips Palmer for both of their essays, published in the Horological Journal from April 1873. See Vol.XV, pp.85-88, 97-107, and 114-119; and also pp.133-141, and 145-151〕 Immisch's prize essay was published in book form - a work which remained in print for many years.
