The bottom one - possibly a Chronometer Finisher http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronometer

I wonder if the top one could be a Sawyer rather than Lawyer

I'd agree with both

It looks like Sawyer for the top one as well rather than Lawyer.

I'm with Kay on Sawyer - there doesn't seem to be a right stroke at the bottom of the first letter which I would expect to see if the letter were L.

All the best
