I found this in one of my draws. I think i found it in one of my relatives houses after they had passed away. i don't really know anything about it, it was found in a small cardboard box with some coins from the 40's and 50's not use if the watch is from that period or not. just thought some one on here might be able to shed some light on it  Thanks. |

Much older than 40s or 50s, as a key wind / key set piece it is probably 19th century. Is there no makers name on the movement at all? Shot in the dark without anything there. Case doesn't help much as that will have been supplied separately from the movement but a casemaker's name might help a little. |

I have emailed an pocket watch expert and they said its a standard swiss bar movement in a swiss silver case. guess that narrows it down a bit but i don't have nay idea on the maker still. |

Would love to know how they know that it's Swiss. Swiss style with the bar bridges, but the Swiss weren't the only ones to use it - hence why I said European. |
