Hi Hollydog,
The watch has a London hallmark for 1886. However, the closest I can find for the JF sponsors mark on the case is for a John Fleckner Case maker of Warwick Street, Earlsdon, Coventry. The watch could be what is sometimes referred to as a 'London watch' in that it was assembled and registered in London from parts produced in other parts of the country, hence the case possibly coming from Coventry. If requested, these watches could then be engraved with the details of the jeweller that retailed the watch, rather than actually made it, in this case Amble's Thomas Campbell.
It's an handsome old watch, well worth using to keep it in good order.
