[Daniel123]

Anyone know what this movement is I can’t find a calibre number?

Looks very similar to AS movement but no luck

An image from the other side might be helpful as sometimes the keyless works are good for confirmation.

Yes good point

Cheers Daniel  is there any chance you could do a closer one on the circled part of the movement below. Looks like there's some text there that might be helpful as well!

Hi, it’s a Swiss cross with 51482 under, I’ll get a better shot once I’m back

Ahh cool, probably a Swiss patent number. Will have a look online when I’m finished following the missus around the shops!

I think it could be a FHF 1146 with a modified bridge layout and keyless works. Not an expert in the slightest so somebody else may be able to get closer than me.

It is definitely similar I will see if the measurements are the same, it certainly looks like it was made by the same company

Hi     From besffit research it looks like a Gruen 145     Setting lever spring matches. Aldo attached is a picture from ebay with the self same movement A Gruen .

Hi Daniel    Ichecked the down load It appeared it was duff so I have attached two pictures of the movement again.  If you checkout the setting lever spring with yours its the same so dfrom that I would deduce  Its a Gruen probably 145 .

[Daniel123]

Fantastic thank you so much, I’m really going to have to try and get the bestfit books.

Hello,

There's a book in German which can be used for identifying movements, Das Flume - System , (Rudolf Flume). Mine is a 1963 print of the 1958 edition but I suspect there are older editions which are more relevant to earlier and (particularly) pocket watch movements. It's in sections - upto 1947 / 52/ 57, along with escapement type and is further divided.. you can look in the relevant age section and count the holes in the little plate which retains the keyless works, and work your way up in diameter - there's a picture of each movement with the under dial view.

I have checked but this movement is a bit early for my edition.
