Well, the alarm hand looks newer and is not of the same style.
But here is the real kicker. An alarm watch/clock/etc is supposed to have two barrels, one for the alarm and one for the time. On some wristwatches, they had two crowns. On the Cricket, I believe the crown wound one way for time and the other for alarm, whereas the pusher at two was to turn on/off the alarm.
Doesn't the watch in the picture have only one winding key hole?
well to the alarm side got a 50's alarm a couple of 70's alarm and one 80's I keep the 80's mech one and a gold plated 50's / 60's one will add pic's of them ... they all had two barrels as you say one to charge the watch one to use as an alarm . and not sure how they could do it off one barrel but in the pic does look like their is a button on both sides of the crown to work two leavers possible . just trying to find the listing again think their was two key holes but took that for winding and setting .
some times the alarm hand is different to the others so it is easy discernible but with very early pocket watches am a bit of a lost if pin and barrel think what 1900's ? so just not sure

I am not good at the translating part, but without a shot of the movement, you’d be lucky if I parted with more than 10 euros...The dust cover should come off with gentle prying. Either they are lazy or are hiding something.

like this great movement .
but how likely is it that I would break the minute hand straightening it . as to me it's bent and it would bug me knowing this ?

One would think that replacing hands are easy, but they can be vexing. I had a minute hand that I needed for a older UN movement. Even with compression, I could not get it to hang on reliably. may need to cut a slot into it so it can be squeezed tighter.
