    well members I feel I should know what movement this is but can't seem to place it

    what we know small size probably 25mm , swiss made , very early think 1900's / 1920's , sub-six dial french cased ,

    thats about it not a lot to go on probably a version of A. Schild movement at a guess

    As always ismy

    There are few references out there to help. The best are for American PWs. With a dial side and a movement side shot, I have books that will let you pin it down quickly. In addition, the lettering in the lower right is impossible for me to read and could be clue. The winding wheel stop is reminiscent of a Zenith, but that is about as far as I can throw it.

    For such puzzles I usually go to Ranff first off, but it's a big database and it helps to know the year if you don't know the brand.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    thats the rub unsigned no ref , no makers mark just swiss made it's early not sure as early as first thought but still before 1920's at a guess not even knowing maker is making it difficult to search

    would guess the info is on the dial of the movement

    The scroll work along the edges is lovely. Something about the lettering and case make me think late 20's early 30's, but only a guess. t's a fun puzzle.
