In connection with my recent expeditions into vintage pocketwatch territory (for a Panerai see-through caseback built (cal.616)) I also discovered this probably year 1883 or 1884 18k Courvoisier & Cie numbered 38358 on the dial and inside casings pocketwatch, originally belonging to my grand-grandfather and which has been in the family since. The hands are of a nice steel-blue, it´s a huntercase with engravings of a deer on one side and of a lion on the other. One thing distinctly different from other pocketwatches I´ve seen, is that You face the dial directly, meaning the winding crown is at 3 and not at 12 as usually with pocketwatches. It´s not working. As I´ve always been amazed how much knowledge members have about everything watch-related, it would be great to have any more information about the history and the movement of this one. It´s not a repeater, but is it a Breguet? There is a stilyzed M (from Émile Courvoisier?) engraved several times, the single, small stamp on the movement reads Courvoisier&Cie, Chaux-de-Fonds. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks. Courvoisièr 8c rectangle 110 Chaux de Fonds Suisse M Spiral Breguet Ligne Droite Ancre 18 Rubis Balancier Compensé On for some vintage eye-candy
