Thanks Paul for this link!
In the Nautical Magazine for 1832, page 144 an interesting article on using lunars to evaluate a previously accurate watch. The author blames the magnetic influence of a brace of pistols placed too close to the watch for its change. It recovered its previous rate when they were removed.
