A Death Notice that appeared in The Horological Journal that may indicate, because of the name and address, a continuation of Charles Harle's business:
We regret to announce the rather sudden death of an old and esteemed member of the trade, Mr. C.H. Harle, watch case maker, of Wynyatt Street, Northampton Square, at the age of 71. Mr. Harle's knowledge and taste for fine art work, and his high manipulative skill in the restoration of antique and choice specimens of case work, placed him at the head of a branch that is rapidly becoming, if not already, extinct, and make his loss very generally felt.
