Both! It’s a Timemaster alarm watch. It has cap jewels over the hole jewels on 3 of the train wheels making 8, 2 on the escapement, 2 on the pallet pivots, and 5 on the balance (including the impulse) making 17. But no pallet stones. And it has a cheap, ‘stamped metal’ sort of bridge/balance cock, an open mainspring barrel, and the alarm spring barrel had a weird arbor/gear hybrid. Not seen that before. It was interesting to figure out how the alarm works, so learning all the time, but this was definitely a cheap one, despite being ‘fully jeweled’. -
It seems this topic is becoming very interesting 😀. Here are two more pictures that might help to identify the movement. The diameter of the dial side is 40mm, and the other side 36,5mm. -
I'm with @nevenbekriev Rich, it just looks a normal movement to me .... unless you know differently. Do you have pics of yours? Who is the manufacturer? -

Rich, this one seems rather regular movement to me. Yes, what You describe exists, but I doubt that the one on the picture is something similar. -
@Neverenoughwatches Many thanks for your remarks. As I wrote earlier, I was a bit reluctant to disassemble this movement, and you gave me further motives to be careful. I'll just remove it from its case so as to clean it a little.
