Trench Watch Movements Identification


Recommended Posts

If there are no distinguishing marks on the balance side, then you will need to look under the dials. Even if this doesn't reveal the maker's stamp, there is a chance that they can be identified from the keyless work.

Worth starting with a look at Fabrique d'Horlogerie Fontainemelon (FHF) movements.

David Boettcher has some great information on his site under https://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/movements.php

For instance your second pic looks like a Fontainemelon 2; and your first pic, at least in terms of distinctive bridge shapes, like what David calls a Fontainemelon 6. Do the movement sizes tie up i.e. 13''' = 29.3mm?
